Percy, a troubled young woman on parole, yearns for a fresh start and heads to the small Wisconsin town of Gilead. She finds work at the dried-up town's only eatery, The Spitfire Grill. As Percy discovers her own path to redemption, she awakens the town's capacity for healing and hope. With soaring melodies and Midwestern charm, this folk musical is a celebration of kindness and community. "The country-flavored tunes and lyrics are rendered with the kind of conviction and expertise that make them transcendent. What in normal times would be a joy is, in these troubled ones, sheer nourishment."–New York Magazine
