Welcome to anyone who wishes to see what this unique book club is all about!
The Theatre-Goers Book Club's September 15, 2026 play script review is the musical The Spitfire Grill by James Valcq and Fred Alley. In the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin, recently released parolee Percy Talbott arrives seeking a fresh start. She takes a job at the struggling Spitfire Grill, where her quiet determination begins to impact the lives of those around her. As Percy forms unexpected connections with the town’s residents, long-held secrets and past hurts come to the surface, leading to a moving story about redemption, community, and the power of second chances.
This play is also being performed at the Habersham Community Theatre in Clarksville for anyone wishing to attend a performance. The date for group attendance will be decided at the meeting.
