Red Mountain Theatre Presents “Waitress”

Drawing from Adrian Shelley’s cherished film, the Tony-nominated musical “Waitress” offers heartfelt lessons about discovering joy in surprising moments. The story follows Jenna, a waitress and talented pie creator, who finds herself stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. After learning she’s unexpectedly pregnant, she worries that her dream of opening her own pie shop is slipping away. However, a baking contest nearby and a charming new doctor in town present her with new possibilities. With the support of an eccentric group of fellow servers and loyal customers, Jenna starts to uncover the courage she didn’t know she had. “Waitress” will kick off on Friday, July 18th.
