West Point, CA…This laugh-out loud comedy, by Jim Brochu, follows chef and cookbook author Gussie Richardson as she tries to secure her own television cooking show. Unfortunately, Gus’s stage fright gets in the way of her dream. No one escapes the mess that ensues as her friends try to help her overcome her fears. Cookin’ with Gus is directed by Terra Forgette, and features a great cast of Blue Mountain Players regulars and some new faces. Local singer-songwriter Meghan O’Keefe stars as “Gourmet Gus”. She is joined by Laurel Lickteig as “Carmen”, the Gypsy Princess next door neighbor; Dennis Adams as Walter Richardson, Gussie’s couch-potato other half; and Jeff Haight as “Bernie” her high-energy agent.

Director Terra Forgette read dozens of scripts searching for just the right fit for the small, unique community theater in West Point. And she found just the thing in “Cookin’ with Gus”! Gypsy neighbors, hypnotism, booze, food and fun!- this play has it all.
