The A.R.T. Community Cookbook is a collection of pie recipes contributed by A.R.T. patrons, staff, and fans during the run of Waitress.  Recipes collected as a part of the Waitress Lobby Experience and via Instagram.

Jenna is a waitress and expert pie maker, is stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. Her customers, co-workers, and the town’s handsome new doctor all offer her conflicting recipes for happiness—but Jenna ultimately has to decide for herself. This poignant and uplifting new musical celebrates friendship, motherhood, and the courage it takes to pluck a long abandoned dream off the shelf. Waitress is a new musical directed by Diane Paulus, featuring music and lyrics by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles.
