WAITRESS to be Presented at The Phoenix Theatre Company This Month

The Phoenix Theatre Company is inviting audiences to enjoy a heartwarming story of love, hope, and second chances with "Waitress," the hit musical from Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles. Opening Sept. 25, 2024, and running through Nov. 24, 2024, in the Hormel Theatre.

"Waitress" follows Jenna Hunterson, a talented pie maker trapped in a loveless and toxic marriage, who faces an unexpected pregnancy. When a local baking contest presents a glimmer of hope for a fresh start, Jenna sets out on a journey of self-discovery. With the support of her quirky friends and a dash of new romance, Jenna begins to find joy in the small things and finds the courage to pursue a better life.

"'Waitress,' is a heartwarming celebration of love in all its forms: romantic, platonic, familial, and self-love," says director Chanel Bragg. "Jenna's journey reminds us that even in the chaos of life, love is the ingredient that sweetens every story. By embracing both the beautiful and the messy parts of life, we grow, heal, and discover that love and hope can come from the most unlikely places."
