A Coffee Date with Vagabond Productions
Vagabond Productions newest show, Fresh Brewed: Tales from the Coffee Bar by Henry Meyerson, promises to add a bit of a caffeine jolt to your regular theatre experience. The show is made up of a series of seven short plays with just two things in common: they all take place in a coffee shop, and they are all hilarious.
Since it is important to vary up scenery from time to time, Vagabond is stepping out of its usual venue of UPEI’s Faculty Lounge and into Receiver Coffee Co., 128 Richmond Street in Charlottetown. The authentic setting will truly bring audiences into the world of the play. Each scene in Fresh Brewed is wildly different from the next, which means the only thing you can be sure about in this show is there will be laughs aplenty.
The play runs March 5 to 10. The doors open at 7 pm for a 7:30 pm start. Admission is pay-what-you-can. Seating is limited, with no presale tickets, so come early and enjoy a coffee before the show to guarantee yourself a seat. The play contains adult language and mature themes, so viewer discretion is advised. For more information, contact Vagabond Productions at gdoran@upei.ca or 902-566-6013.
