Inside T.C. is captaining her first shift as the new shop manager; Anne, a customer, is working on a new project and Candice and son Howard, back from Seattle, have just sat down to enjoy a beverage at their favorite coffee shop. What follows is a day full of eccentricity, cups of coffee and affecting conversation creating a turning point that shows how community can add to your life. The cast for BTE's production includes BTE Ensemble Members Robert Jordan Bailey (Roy), Lisa Dawn (Anne) and Kelli Walker (Candice), with Whitney Dottery (T.C.) and Ravi Kalani (Howard).
