A young girl born with an eggshell wants to leave home to see the world and become a chef, but her family is convinced she's too fragile. With the help of her loyal best friend, she concocts a plan to achieve her culinary dreams - only to discover they might not be all they're cracked up to be.

Specialty Plates.

The Tennessee Arts Commission is a huge supporter of The Theater Bug, and one of the reasons we are still able to provide programming to the community, even under the most difficult of times. You can help support by participating in the specialty license plate program! An adorable design and supporting an organization that supports many of the theaters you know and love in Tennessee!
