A feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book, to a small town in Wisconsin. There she finds a place for herself working at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town. Newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. The entry fee is $100, and the best essay on why you want the grill. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full. Things are definitely cookin’ at the Spitfire Grill.
Based on the film of the same name, this musical is contemporary musical wonder. And, we have made it more delicious for 10 patrons at each performance. For just an extra $5, 10 guests will get to enjoy a dessert during the performance.
