THE STORY: This warmly funny and yearning play follows the unlikely connection between Paul, a retired firefighter who goes to the same counter every morning for a few cups of coffee, and Katie, who's always there to serve him. After many months of small talk, Paul decides it's time for them to really be friends, and Katie gives in, sensing he needs a friend more than she does. What begins as the sharing of one secret grows into a deeply meaningful, life-affirming friendship—shocking Paul and Katie into embracing the hopes and joys that are born of basic human connection.
