Join the IU Southeast Theatre Department for The Spitfire Grill, a musical of hope, community, and rebirth, playing at the Robinson Theater in the Paul W. Ogle Cultural and Community Center November 22-24.
The Spitfire Grill tells the story of Percy, a troubled young woman seeking a fresh start in a small Wisconsin town. Based on the film by Lee David Zlotoff with music and book by James Valq and lyrics and book by Fred Alley, the story explores the healing power of community, forgiveness, and hope. Through folk-inspired music, Percy’s journey brings new life to a town long burdened with longing and regret, reminding us of the joy found in human kindness.
The Spitfire Grill is suitable for most theatergoers over the age of 13. Featuring a beautiful story of hope and redemption, The Spitfire Grill includes some adult language, mild alcohol use and themes of prison and war. The show also includes adult themes of sexual assault, abuse, and murder.
