“Metaphors, absurdities and seriousness intermingle in this production from New Forms LA and directed by Marissa Pattullo.” -LA Times

5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche (Los Angeles Premiere) marked New Forms’ second production. Following a sold-out run in November 2025, the production returned in March 2026 for a second engagement—once again selling out its run.

The cult-favorite play published in 2014 by Evan Linder and Andrew Hobgood (devised by Sarah Gitenstein, Mary Hollis Inboden, Meg Johns, Thea Lux, Beth Stelling, and Maari Suorsa), drops audiences into 1956, where the fiercely devoted members of the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein gather for their Annual Quiche Breakfast.

“Pattullo transforms the venue, the Glendale Church of the Brethren, into the Society’s meeting room, thus allowing the audience to share in the high stakes situation that the club finds itself in. It’s a brilliant choice.” -Stage Raw

Through immersive design, interactive performance, and and collaborations with local women- and queer-owned businesses, audiences were invited not just to observe, but to belong—to become “sisters” within the society itself. Equal parts absurd, sincere, and communal, the fully immersive production embodied New Forms’ mission to create work that lives beyond the stage.

“The only real downside here is that this run is over, short as it was. Hopefully, whether in the form of a another slice of the Quiche or another script entirely, this won’t be the last we’ve seen of immersive work from [New Forms LA.]” -No Proscenium
