Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert piemaker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying encounter with someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.
This is the premise of Waitress, the hilarious hit Broadway musical baked from the heart and taking the stage at Reno’s Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts, February 4-6, 2022.
