‘Waitress’ is serving up whimsy at the Jefferson Performing Arts Center

Sara Bareilles’ uplifting and inspiring musical celebrating friendship, motherhood and the magic of a well-made pie.

Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker, is stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. Faced with an unexpected pregnancy, Jenna fears she may have to abandon the dream of opening her own pie shop … until a baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s handsome new doctor offer her a tempting recipe for happiness.

Supported by her quirky crew of fellow waitresses and loyal customers, Jenna summons the secret ingredient she’s been missing all along – courage.

See it Sept, 12-21.
