“Those who enjoy comedic farce will giggle non-stop” – Port Dover Maple Leaf

“Too Many Cooks is a hilarious comedy… a huge success.” – Simcoe Reformer

It’s 1932 in Niagara Falls, Canada, where the rum-running business is at its peak.

After the crash, Irving Bubbalowe and his daughter Honey risked everything to open a new restaurant. But when their star singing chef, the renowned François LaPlouffe, fails to show up for the grand opening, the event is suddenly in jeopardy. The struggling Bubbalowe also must deal with Chicago gangsters who have come in search of an illegal liquor shipment that, without Bubbalowe’s knowledge, has ended up in his basement. Additionally, they need to stay ahead of the hot-blooded Immigration officer tracking the missing chef, as well as evade the suspicious Mountie ready to arrest Bubbalowe for both murder and bootlegging.

Madness breaks out as Bubbalowe and the others weave a tangled web of false stories and personas in their desperate attempt to rescue the restaurant – and themselves – from the threats of both mobsters and police.

“Too Many Cooks” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
