ABOUT
Turning Tables was Coffee
Cup's debut stage production.
A show about waiting tables?
But wait, there’s more… Written and performed by
Coffee Cup (a theatre co), TURNING TABLES is
a fast paced original comedy about first impressions, told through
the eyes of waiters. Fear not! No bitter waiter rants here. This
is a universal story, with a real heart. With a true ensemble
cast, Coffee Cup seamlessly weaves together five stories to create
one jam-packed evening full of surreal moments, larger than life
characters and unimaginable mishaps. Be careful what you say
to (or around) your waiter, it could wind up on stage! (All
names have been changed to protect the innocent). If you've
never waited tables before, don't worry. It's not a waiter thing,
it's a human thing...
