Based on the 2007 movie written by Adrienne Shelley, Waitress tells the story of Jenna, an expert pie maker in a small town, who dreams of a way out of her loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a new life, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes to happiness.

But Jenna must find the courage and strength within herself to rebuild her life. This beautiful musical celebrates friendship, motherhood... and the magic of a well-made pie.
