A romantic comedy by Kirsten Da Silva CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
Directed by Angela Bell
As the sauce simmers, bitter rivalry, mystery and zany comedy come to a rolling boil in this small town traditional Chili Cook-Off. Ava Rose wants to win her hometown chili cook-off after 26 years of failing to nab the top prize. Before the day is over, childhood secrets will be exposed, blood will be shed, a pot of chili will be tossed, and another sabotaged. If she can piece together her father’s missing Five Alarm Chili recipe and keep her assistant from maiming herself, Ava is sure to finally take home the trophy, cash prize and most importantly – prestige of the annual Memorial Chili Cook Off named for her father, Wayne Rose. This funny, heartwarming and spicy comedy by Kristen Da Silva will fill your bellies with laughs and remind us of the triumphs, challenges and joys of being human. Small town shenanigans, warm hearted fun, a possibility of romance, and maybe just a touch of nostalgia with extra zing abound in this Five Alarm Chili cook-off competition.
