This charming musical comedy is based on the bestseller Growing Up Lutheran by Janet Letnes Martin & Suzann Nelson. The musical is adapted by Jessica Zuehlke & Jim Stowell, with lyrics by Jim Stowell who also wrote music for How to Talk Minnesotan: The Musical.

The musical is set in 1964 in a rural Minnesota Lutheran church that is about to face some changes. Resistant to the change is staunch Norwegian Matriarch Mrs. Lars Snustad (Janet Papenfuss.)

Mrs. Gilmer Gilmerson (Sue Ann Davis Mitley) & Mrs. Elroy Engelson (Vicki Anderson Elwood) & her daughter Signe (Monica Emma Jean Mounts) who attends the University of Minnesota. all have their duties with the record breaking fundraiser. These Norwegian Lutherans are led by Pastor Gunderson (Devin Simko) of the Cornucopia Lutheran Church.
