This heartwarming musical follows the mysterious, young Percy Talbott to Gilead, Wisconsin – a town she chose from a picture in a travel book – where she hopes to begin a new life after a recent incarceration. There, she finds a new job and community at the local restaurant, the Spitfire Grill, where she helps the entire town rediscover their sense of human kindness. Brimming with memorable characters and a melodic, folk-inspired score, The Spitfire Grill is a joyous celebration of second chances and families of all kinds- lost, familiar, and found.

Rated PG-13
