"Say what ya want, say what ya will, Something's cookin' at the Spitfire Grill."

Percy, a young woman just released from prison and all alone in the world, takes a chance and jumps on a bus headed for Wisconsin. She is looking for the peace and quiet of the autumn woods. Instead, she finds a job at the Spitfire Grill in a small town where secrets are revealed and unlikely friendships are made. This poignant look at small town life touched hearts and offered hope when the Playwright Horizons premier opened shortly after the events of Sept. 11, 2001. A real musical journey to the heart.

The Glass Menagerie

One of the most famous plays of the modern theatre by one of our most celebrated American playwrights. Amanda Wingfield, a faded remnant of southern gentility, lives with her daughter, Laura, and son, Tom, in a dingy apartment in St. Louis. Eager to see Laura married and cared for by some "nice young man," she prevails upon Tom to bring a gentleman caller home for dinner. Humorous and poignant, told beautifully in Williams' poetic language. A don't miss opportunity!
