Event Details

Performances will take place Friday and Saturday evenings from May 31st through June 22nd at 8pm, with Sunday matinees June 9th and 16th at 5pm. Seating is cabaret-style, and the audience is invited to bring food and drinks (concessions are also available). Doors open one hour prior to curtain. The June 21st performance will be an alcohol-free evening.
Per Music Theater International, The Baker’s Wife tells the tale of “the bickering residents of a rural village in 1935 Provence, France, [who] have been without a baker for seven weeks. They finally find peace and contentment in the new baker, Aimable, and his radiant young wife, Genevieve. However, when Genevieve is lured away by a handsome young man, the middle-aged baker loses all zest for life and baking. When he refuses to bake, the villagers must work as a team to bring Aimable and Genevieve back together.” MTI goes on to characterize The Baker’s Wife as “A gently bittersweet and offbeat fable of life, love and bread.”
Tickets are $40 and can be purchased at ridgefieldtheaterbarn.org. Discounts are available for seniors, students, and veterans. Sunday, June 9th is a “Pay-What-You-Want” matinee. Visit ridgefieldtheaterbarn.org for more information.
