5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche Comes to Denver and Avenue Theater Invites You For a Taste

5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche assembles the members of the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein, all self-described widows, in 1956. (The members include all of us, by the way, and we have been given name tags to prove it.)

The occasion is the society’s annual quiche breakfast, overseen by its five officers. Dressed in Easter-egg colors, with matching hats and New Look knockoff skirts, these chipper leading ladies conduct business as usual as they work the aisles to compliment us on our floral decorations for the community center (a bleakly cheerful room) and for the quiches we have submitted for competition.
