Weekend Watch: Waitress serves fresh pie, Father's Day Soccer
AUSTIN (KXAN) – Father's Day weekend has arrived, and with a few rainy days behind us, it's time to get outdoors and enjoy the town. Prefer indoor fun? A Musical playing in Austin could be a good choice! The bulk of the rain will be left behind as conditions clear up, allowing us a chance to get outside. Temperatures will also creep back up into the mid-90s, with less cloud coverage and fewer showers in our future. Take a deep breath of pecan pie and immerse yourself in Waitress: The Musical. (My favorite musical. -Freddy) The story of a small town pie maker working at a restaurant in a loveless marriage finds out she is pregnant from her abusive husband.
