Inspired by the film of the same name directed by Adrienne Shelly in 2007, the show tells the story of Jenna, a waitress stuck in a small town who, encouraged by her colleagues, will make an old dream come true by participating in a baking competition.
The rest of the cast will be revealed over the winter.
Waitress will be on display in Montreal, at Espace St-Denis, from June 22, 2024, then at Salle Albert-Rousseau, in Quebec, from August 10, 2024.
