The FPAC presents: "THE SPITFIRE GRILL, a Musical"
The FPAC (The Foothill Performing Arts Council) celebrates the end of its 19th year of bringing Musical Theatre to the Foothills with its presentation of the critically-acclaimed musical, The Spitfire Grill for 4 Weekends Only; Friday, March 2nd thru Sunday, March 25th. Fri. & Sat. performances will be at 8:00 pm and Sunday performances at 7:30 pm.

This rarely produced musical adaptation of the 1996 highly regarded dramatic film, starring Ellen Burstyn and Marcia Gay Harden, received critical praise upon its New York premiere. "This is a drama first", explains FPAC Producer/Director Timothy J. Borquez, "that uses a folk-roots-driven score and songwriting to bring the audience deeper into this story's rich characters. The story surrounds a young lady named Percy Talbott. Recently paroled, she arrives in the small Wisconsin timber-town of Gilead; a place she was inspired to travel to from picture postcards she collected in prison and where she imagined she could start her life over. Upon arriving, she is reluctantly taken on by Hannah Ferguson to help out at the Spitfire Grill, which she owns and has been trying to sell for years since her husband passed away. We quickly discover that this town has lost all sense of hope and many of the long buried wounds of this storys characters will be revealed and through an idea to raffle the Spitfire off in an Essay contest and through the perseverance of Percy's injured but still-caring heart, all are healed and hope is restored to the town of Gilead. I've been itching to direct and produce this touching piece for many years, but the timing just wasnt working out for the talented actors I wanted involved. It all came together pretty quickly this past December, when all were available for the limited 4-week performance window. The FPAC's Creative Space @ New Hope Church has been transformed into the Spitfire Grill and we feel our audiences will appreciate this tale of hurt, healing and hope, backed by a very talented cast and a beautiful musical score."
