The Salem Community Theatre and Cultural Center will present a new musical ‘The Spitfire Grill’ the weekends of September 11th-13th and 18th-20th. The play is directed by director/choreographer Matt Helton.
Recently released from prison, Percy Talbott (played by Lauren Berry) arrives in the struggling town of Gilead, Wisconsin, searching for a fresh start. When she begins working at the Spitfire Grill, her presence slowly brings buried hopes, secrets, and wounds to the surface. As the townspeople confront their pasts and one another, they discover that redemption, forgiveness, and a new beginning may be possible after all.
Performances are on Friday and Saturday nights, September 11th and 12th and September 18th and 19th, with matinees on Sunday, September 13th and 20th at three pm.
