In the play, a feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill. The Grill is for sale, but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy convinces Hannah 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 and things really start cookin’ at the Spitfire Grill. 

Performances are scheduled for March 3-5 at 7:30 p.m. and March 5-6 at 2 p.m. in the Wendy Kurka Rust Flexible Theatre.
