August 12 - 20, 2011 - "The Spitfire Grill"

Music and Book by James Valcq, Lyrics and Book by Fred Alley

Based on the film by Lee David Zlotoff.

Basic Info: Come to Lewis Station Winery and enjoy a small town musical with a big heart! Show by Penguin Productions. Tickets available at the winery or by calling 920.648.5481. Tickets are $15 each, shows start at 7:30 on Aug. 12, 13, 19 & 20.

What's the show about? Meet Percy, a feisty parolee who 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. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and the locals see their town through new eyes.
