Bay City Players Presents Virtually:

The Cupcake Conspiracy- July 14

As we continue staying home and staying safe, we are happy to be able to bring you another installment in the #MakeArtVirtual series. This week we are bringing you The Cupcake Conspiracy by C.J Ehrlich & Philip Kaplan

Synopsis:

“Cupcakes are easy. Marriage is complicated!” When newly-separated Max puts a toe into the dating waters behind his soon-to-be ex’s back, he hooks up with the wrong blind date, and finds himself up to his neck in a dangerous scheme involving cupcakes. Really evil cupcakes. Meanwhile his missed date, Suzie, misconnects with Alvin, a secret agent of so many identities, even he can’t remember who he is. This could be the greatest night of Max’s life, if he can just convince the sultry Natasha he’s the dread-sexy mastermind Bob X, foil her evil plans, ditch the Homeland Security agent hot on their trail, and most important, keep his wife — Suzie — from finding out.
