Get Baking! WAITRESS to Hold Friendly 'ComPIEtition' at the Fox Cities P.A.C.

In partnership with WFRV-TV and Woodward Communications, the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center announces a friendly comPIEtition.

The Center is searching for the perfect pie recipe that demonstrates deliciousness and creativity to celebrate the arrival of Waitress the musical this November.

Interested participants in the Waitress Pie Contest are asked to submit their most creative and whimsical pie recipe via this online form. Submissions will be accepted from October 2 at 10 a.m. until 11:59 p.m. Monday, October 16.

In the first round, recipes will be judged by the creativity of the name and contents of the recipe. Three finalists will be selected and will make their pies to be judged by a panel of local celebrities. The winner will receive tickets to a performance of Waitress and the winning recipe will be recreated by Canteen Catering. Those pies will be available for purchase throughout the week of Waitress performances. A copy of the recipe will also be included in the Waitress cookbook during the production's visit to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center.

Brought to life by a groundbreaking, all-female creative team, this irresistible new hit features original music and lyrics by six-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles ("Brave," "Love Song"), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam), and direction by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus (Finding Neverland, Pippin, Hair).

Inspired by Adrienne Shelly's beloved film, WAITRESS tells the story of Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. While her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness, a baking contest in a nearby county and the town's new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start, but Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life. Don't miss this uplifting musical celebrating friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.
