Lancaster, PA (February 7) — Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre has a sweet treat for Lancaster this season.

The local dinner theatre is serving up the regional premiere of the Broadway smash hit Waitress,

February 28 through April 5. Based on the 2007 film, with music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner and

Tony nominee Sara Bareilles, the story follows Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker’s journey to bake

her way out of her small town and loveless marriage. When a baking contest offers her a chance at

escape, Jenna fights to reclaim part of herself. Each of us will find something relatable in Jenna’s

struggles and triumphs.

Full of romance and the joy of an uninhibited fling, Waitress tells the story of a pregnant woman trapped

in a small town, between the life she’s living and the life she wants. Customers, co-workers, and the

town’s handsome new doctor may all offer conflicting recipes for happiness, but only Jenna can do the

soul-searching to decide for herself what the right ingredients are for her own happiness. Find out what

her final recipe is – get your tickets for the regional premier of Waitress now.
