“The Spitfire Grill” is a musical based on the 1996 film by Lee David Zlotoff. James Valcq and Fred Alley wrote the musical adaptation, which reached theaters in 2001.
The plot centers on Percy Talbott, a young woman recently released from prison. She finds employment at the Spitfire Grill, a dilapidated diner in a close-knit community. The following events tell a tale of healing, transformation and redemption for the town and its inhabitants, a press release from Love Street Playhouse stated.
“One of the things that drew me to this script was the humanness of the characters. They are people that we know. They are all flawed in some way and need a second chance and forgiveness,” director Melissa Bareford said in the release.
Love Street Playhouse was founded in 2007 with the vision of having a community theater where the “participation by and for the community of Woodland, Washington, would help create a cultural space to learn and grow,” according to the theater’s website.
