With chain coffee shops opening all around her, Margie has
been struggling to keep her gay friendly coffeehouse open.
Margie's most loyal customers help her devise a new promotional
scheme to draw new
customers and keep the coffee house from going under.
Through it all we get to know a collection of familiar
people: There is Minga, a drag queen who runs a Karoake
service; Jeremy, the 19 year old employee in search of
love on the internet; Sal, a hard-core motorcyclist with
a heart of gold; Harry, the voice of wisdom who made it
through Stonewall; Fran, the bisexual artist hunting for
romance in the personal ads; Tim, who is leaving his
girlfriend for more exciting adventures; Lip, who is outed
at work and loses her job; and Margie herself, who has
spent a year getting over the loss of her life partner and
is ready to move on to better times.
Coffeehouse is a warm and funny new play that celebrates
our history, unique differences and commonality as a
community bursting out into a new century.
