MAKIN’ CAKE

Slice into a Community Conversation on Culture, Class, Race & Cake

NOW A NATIONALLY TOURING SHOW AND FILM!

Kelly-Hamilton cuts into a cake, revealing what its history and ingredients can teach us about race, class and equity in America. Experience the live performance by Dasha and her baker, plus a delicious conversation and cake.

Brilliant and compelling storytelling of a very serious topic. WOW!

Patricia Carroll, University of Wisconsin Extension

Makin’ Cake is brilliantly performed! Dasha creatively uses layers of cake and the evolution of its ingredients to teach the history of race, class and inequity and how ‘isms’ got built into our culture. Remarkable!

Karen Nelson, Director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for Rogers Memorial Health

Dasha crafted an event that filled the theatre with learning, discussion, laughter, and applause! Props to Dasha for creating and delivering a meaningful message that applies to all of us.

Christy Schwan, President of Ozaukee County League of Women Voters

Dasha's way of telling a slice of America's history is captivating and makes the bad ingredients a little easier to swallow because they, too, are a part of the cake.

And best of all, there was something baking during the production that was better than cake. The sense of community. I left feeling closer to the person next to me. And I think we could all use a second helping of that these days. Bravo.

She takes us through history as she deals with race, culture, women’s roles, class structure, inequity and more. It’s a lot to bite off—no matter how you slice it.
