Mary Moody Northen Theatre, the award-winning producing arm of the St. Edward’s University professional theatre training program, concludes its 39th anniversary season with The Spitfire Grill, music and book by James Valcq, lyrics and book by Fred Alley, based on the film by Lee David Zlotoff. The production runs April 19 - 29, 2012.

Percy Talbot arrives in a small Wisconsin town after 5 years in prison, ready to make a fresh start. When her parole officer helps her land a job in the local diner, Percy has no idea that she has just taken the first step on a road to redemption for herself and reawakening for her community. A heartwarming tale, graced with a folksy score, The Spitfire Grill celebrates fortitude, community and the strength of one person to make a difference. Curtainup calls it "a slice of Americana, a modern folk-tale." Featuring Equity guests Amparo Garcia Crow and Jarret Mallon.

"A deep and enriching evening of theatre.” — NYTheatre
