Full cast and creative team information has been announced for Bristol Riverside Theatre’s production of the James Valcq-Fred Alley musical The Spitfire Grill, to be presented September 23-October 12, with an opening set for September 25. Keith Baker will direct.

The show tells the journey of Percy, a young vagabond who decides to start a new life in the rural Wisconsin town of Gilead, a place she has seen only in a picture she carries. There she finds a home and acceptance with Hannah, long time owner and operator of the lonely and broken down restaurant of the quiet town, the Spitfire Grill. As Percy works her own world into balance, she is joyously revived by the quiet town, which in turn is revived as well.

The cast stars Erin Mosher as Percy, and features Jason Dula (Sheriff Joe Sutter), Diane J. Findlay (Hannah Ferguson), Kristin Maloney (Shelby Thorpe), Robert Smythe (The Visitor), Jo Twiss (Effy Krayneck), and Paul Woodson (Caleb Thorpe). The creative team includes lighting designer Scott Pinkney, set designer Mims Mattair, costume designer Linda Bee Stockton, and musical staging by Gregory Daniels.
