The Spitfire Grill- Performing at the newly renovated Historic Auditorium of St. Croix Falls! This is a heartwarming, inspirational, and Wisconsin based musical by Fred Alley and James Valq. Directed by Mark Rosenwinkel, the performances will run from August 8th to September 1st.

Based on the 1996 award-winning Sundance Film Festival hit movie, The Spitfire Grill tells a story of hope, forgiveness and the healing power of community. This character-driven musical is appropiate for all ages. I can't think of a better story to tell for Festival Theatre's theatrical homecoming.
