Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre is thrilled to kick off its 2025-2026 Season of Truth & Illusion with the 25th Anniversary Miami premiere of "The Spitfire Grill." This award-winning musical will play Oct. 8 – Nov. 2, 2025, in the newly dedicated Dr. Lawrence and Barbara Stein Center for the Performing Arts.
Based on the 1996 film by Lee David Zlotoff, with music and book by James Valcq and lyrics and book by Fred Alley:
Percy Talbot, fresh out of prison, seeks a fresh start in Gilead, Wisconsin, finding solace and community at Hannah's struggling Spitfire Grill. When Percy proposes a "write a letter, win the grill" contest, the town's secrets and dreams are stirred. This poignant musical, filled with folk-infused melodies, explores themes of redemption, second chances and the power of human connection.
