The Bigfork Community Players have been trying to present The Kitchen Witches for almost two years after being thwarted by COVID-19.

Isobel Lomax (played by Shannon Bagley) and Dolly Biddle (played by Jodie Thole) are two "mature" cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for thirty years. When circumstances bring them together on a TV show called The Kitchen Witches, the insults are flung harder than the food.
