Spotlight Children's Theatre brings a heartfelt comedy set in a 1955 Arizona diner, with the nation’s iconic Route 66 as the backdrop and a cast of all ages. Sally, a young waitress who adores celebrities, is thrilled about the wedding of glamorous movie star Lovey Lamour and crooner Johnny Jerome, until a mysterious customer reveals herself to be Lovey. Having slipped away from the ceremony and broken down on Route 66 with the press in pursuit, Lovey hides at the diner while her car is repaired. Sally’s plan is simple, pose as a fellow waitress. As Sally shows the star how to handle the job, their cover is threatened when a nosy photographer exposes Lovey’s identity and alerts Johnny to where she is. Colorful characters swirl around the counter, including a short-fused cook, Sally’s geeky boyfriend, an endlessly hungry patron, a hilariously inept mechanic, and even Elvis Presley before fame. The result is an affectionate salute to classic diner culture, blending warmth and plenty of laughs.
