THE SPITFIRE GRILL
A Heartwarming Musical About Redemption and Second Chances
The Middlebury Community Players presented The Spitfire Grill, the acclaimed musical by James Valcq (music and book) and Fred Alley (book and lyrics) October 16–19 & October 24–26 at Town Hall Theater in Middlebury .
This powerful and uplifting musical tells the story of Percy Talbott, a young woman seeking a fresh start after being released from prison. When she arrives in the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin, to work at Hannah Ferguson's Spitfire Grill, her presence sparks change that transforms the entire community. With its soaring folk-inspired score and deeply moving story of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of human kindness, The Spitfire Grill has captivated audiences across the country since its premiere in 2001.
