Timber Lake Playhouse bakes up a delicious treat with Waitress.
From July 11–27, Timber Lake Playhouse brings a heartwarming slice of musical theater to Mount Carroll with Waitress, the hit Broadway show featuring original music and lyrics by Grammy winner Sara Bareilles. Based on the beloved 2007 film, Waitress tells the story of Jenna—a small-town diner employee with a talent for baking and a dream for something more.
Stuck in a loveless marriage and facing an unexpected pregnancy, Jenna finds strength in her creativity, crafting extraordinary pies and leaning on the support of her spirited coworkers, Dawn and Becky. With a pie contest on the horizon and a glimmer of hope, she sets out to reclaim her life and rewrite her future.
This uplifting and emotional story, filled with humor, resilience, and heartfelt songs, is a must-see part of Timber Lake Playhouse’s summer season.
