The Spitfire Grill ~ A Musical
May 9 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$10.00 – $15.00
LIGHTS UP PRODUCTIONS invites you this May 9, 10 & 11 to the Skowhegan Opera House for our first community theater musical production of the year! The Spitfire Grill is a 7-person musical about starting new and building fresh. Not only for the individuals of the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin, but also about what it means for a small town to come together to revitalize it— sounds familiar, right?! The Spitfire Grill’s stories of empowerment, its depiction of small-town Maine, and its powerful messages of redemption will make for a fantastic end to spring 2025.
Percy Talbot has just been released from a five-year prison sentence for manslaughter. She is trying to find a place for a fresh start; and based on a page from an old travel book, travels to the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin. The local sheriff, Joe Sutter, who is also Percy’s parole officer, finds her a job at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill – the only eatery in this struggling town. The Spitfire Grill is for sale but has no interested buyers; therefore, Hannah decides to raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail arrives by the wheelbarrow full, and things are definitely getting hot at the Spitfire Grill. This musical triumph is an inspiring celebration of fresh starts and the power of what one person can do.
