When a young woman winds up in a small Wisconsin town to “find herself,” she finds much more than she bargained for.  Her journey of self-renewal will come to life on stage when the Baldwin Players at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College present a musical titled “The Spitfire Grill” on March 31-April 2. 

The performance will begin at 7 p.m. each night in ABAC’s Howard Auditorium.  Tickets are $10 per person, $5 for students with an ID, and free to ABAC students, staff, and faculty. Tickets can be purchased online at www.purplepass.com/ABAC or by calling (229) 391-4895.

“This is a very interesting show,” Dr. Brian Ray, Director of the Baldwin Players and a Professor of English and Theatre at ABAC, said.  “The musical is a little different than the film, so audiences should come expecting a little twist.

“The music is very good.  It's a mix of country, folk, and some up-tempo, knee-slapping fun stuff, too.”

Cast members include Alena Norton, an ABAC alumnus from Tifton, as Percy Talbott; Ryan Norton, an ABAC alumnus from Tifton, as Sheriff Joe Sutter; Sommer Dunston, an ABAC alumnus from Tifton, as Hannah Ferguson; and Easton Mayo, an ABAC turfgrass management major from Tallahassee, Fla., as Caleb Thorpe.

Other cast members include Julie Rucker, an ABAC alumnus from Tifton, as Effy Krayneck; Hannah Exum, an ABAC alumnus from Nashville, as Shelby Thorpe; and Roderick Baisden, an ABAC alumnus from Tifton, as The Visitor.
