Lyrics by James Valq and Book by Fred Alley
Based on the film by Lee David Zlotoff
Join us for this joyous celebration of human kindness. The soaring score, satisfying plot and unique staging provide the perfect way to open our 77th season. Inspired by an old travel book, a troubled young woman, recently released from prison, follows her dreams to Wisconsin. The small town she settles in is itself filled with aching and regret. Yet, in her job at the Spitfire Grill she finds a home that not only serves up delicious food, but also the healing power of community. The melodic folk-inspired music is the perfect underscoring for this touching tale.
