ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø’s School of Performing Arts will present “The Spitfire Grill” on November 11-12, and 17-19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Beverly B. Bistline Theater in the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center. 

Based on the 1996 movie of the same name,  “The Spitfire Grillâ€� by James Valcq and Fred Alley tells the story of  Percy Talbott, a feiry woman straight out of prison trying to find her footing in the small town of Gilead. Fighting judgment and gossip from the locals, “The Spitfire Grillâ€� is an uplifting and inspirational musical that shows the power of what one woman can do. Complimenting the singing and acting on stage is a live band, under the direction of Geoffrey Friedley, adjunct instructor of music for Idaho State.

Director, Josh Leukhardt speaks on the show, “Who doesn't need a feel-good musical in their life at this time? “The Spitfire Grill� is a show about hope, recovery, and redemption. At the show's beginning, the town of Gilead is exhausted with anger and frustration. Through beautiful and down-to-earth music, the show offers a redeeming journey of an individual, the community, and eventually, the whole town as they experience healing through communion and forgiveness. What grows from this transformation is a renewed relationship with families, friends, and the community.�

Idaho State Theatre is excited to announce that concessions will be available for purchase at select performances going forward. Refreshments for “The Spitfire Grillâ€� will be available before the show, beginning at 6:45 on November 11 and 19. Selections include beer, wine, soft drinks, and seasonal snacks. 

Tickets are available now at the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø box office, by calling box office manager Julie McKnight at (208) 282-3330, or online at isu.edu/tickets. Masks are available for all patrons and staff. Ticket prices range from $7 to $16. If you are a Flex Pass holder, please call ahead to reserve your seat.
