Photos: WAITRESS Opens Tonight at Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre
The Tony-nominated musical features music by Sara Bareilles and is directed by original Broadway cast member Stephanie Torns.
Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre is currently presenting the smash Broadway hit Waitress, now playing through August 31. Check out new photos from the production.
Nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Waitress features an acclaimed score by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles and is inspired by the 2007 film by Adrienne Shelly.
Set in a small-town diner, Waitress tells the story of Jenna, a talented pie maker stuck in a loveless marriage and facing an unexpected pregnancy. When a baking contest and a new doctor offer a chance at a fresh start, Jenna must find the strength to pursue the life she’s always dreamed of—with a little help from her friends and a lot of courage.
The production is directed and choreographed by Stephanie Torns (Les Misérables), a member of the original Broadway cast of Waitress.
Keirsten Hodgens makes her Beef & Boards debut as Jenna. Chanel Edwards-Frederick plays her co-worker and confidante Becky, while Grace Atherholt (The Wizard of Oz, West Side Story) appears as Dawn. Brett Mutter (A Christmas Story) plays Ogie, with Logan Moore (Jersey Boys) as Earl and Douglas E. Stark (Fiddler on the Roof) as Joe. Newcomers Noah Berry and Adam du Plessis debut as Dr. Pomatter and Cal, respectively.
Waitress runs for 48 performances through August 31, 2025. Tickets range from $57 to $85 and include Chef Larry Stoops’ dinner buffet and select beverages.
