WAITRESS
Sponsored by Frontier Health Foundation
February 17-18, 2027 • 7:00 pm
Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town
and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror
her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My
Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county— and a satisfying encounter with
someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize
it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe
for happiness.
Brought to life by a groundbreaking creative team, this hilarious hit Broadway musical
