Red Brick Presents Spitfire Grill, Closes 4/24

No Strings Theatre Company presents "The Spitfire Grill," directed by Nikka Ziemer, closing April 24 at the Black Box Theatre, 430 N Downtown Mall in Las Cruces.

Music and Book are by James Valcq, Lyrics and Book are by Fred Alley and it is based on the film by Lee David Zlotoff. The musical is about 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 sackful and things are definitely cookin' at the Spitfire Grill. The cast members are Phillip Alvarez, Karen Caroe, Jade Diaz, Autumn Gieb, Shaun Hadfield, Virginia Ostendorf, and Bob Singer. Peter Herman is the Lighting and Scenic Designer and Ceil Herman is the Producer. Working backstage are Jill Drake, Rob Henderson, Danny Wade and Rose Wiseman.
