Extra Credit: Spitfire Grill

Welllllllll...... I saw Spitfire Grill several weeks ago at Portland Christian High School. It was quite fantastic!! I had so much fun! Spitfire Grill is about a woman who just got out of prison. She is sent to a little town to finish her parole. She learns the importance of friendship, love, and truth. It's a real heart-warming musical. In fact, I cried sometimes.

The script was VERY well written. It was for common people, but intelligent enough you had to use your brain to understand the meaning behind some of the monologues and songs. The cast, for a low budget high school, did fantastic. The costumes were perfect for each character, very plain and matched the personality of each character.

The set design was fantastic! They built a great stage. It was quite cool!! The stage is a proscenium arch. There was also a thrust constructed. It was quite grand! The set was well designed, with a moving bar stand. It was painted perfectly and the tables and chairs that made up the restaurant set.

The director, who I knew was great. She blocked fantastically, and did great at the casting too. Each actor was perfect for their role. I had a lot of fun. It was a great show!
