Based on a 1996 film of the same name, The Spitfire Grill details the story of a young woman who is released from prison and decides to start a new life in a small mid-western town. She finds a place for herself working at the Spitfire Grill. But she—and the town—have old wounds that need healing, and it takes an unusual contest to pull everyone together to learn from one another and about themselves. The show is a tuneful and stirring tribute to small town life, and offers a charming and honest tale of hope and redemption.
