About the Show
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, The Spitfire Grill makes its Miami premiere at Actors’ Playhouse, launching the 2025–2026 Season of Truth & Illusion. Based on the beloved 1996 film, this poignant musical follows Percy Talbot, a young parolee who finds a fresh start in the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin. When Hannah, the owner of the struggling Spitfire Grill, launches a “write a letter, win the grill” contest, the town’s secrets and dreams are stirred—transforming both Percy and the community. With its folk-inspired score and themes of redemption, second chances, and human connection, The Spitfire Grill is a moving story of hope and renewal.
