Waitress
by Zach Theatre
Apr. 14
Waitress tells the story of Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage.
When a baking contest in a nearby county offers her a chance at escape, Jenna fights to reclaim a long-forgotten part of herself. Through the support of her fellow waitresses, and an unexpected romance, Jenna begins to find the courage to take a long-abandoned dream off the shelf. Waitress celebrates the power of friendship, dreams, and the family we choose.
