The Eulogy Approach
THE EULOGY APPROACH: One night only NYC premier!
Already down on his luck, a baristas oddities and queerness aren't helping him jumpstart life beyond his small town. Believing a stranger's arrival to town is a sign from the universe, he offers the panicked young woman refuge inside his closed cafe. This one-act dramedy, set in real time, follows the two stubborn individuals a dreamer and a realist as they uncover a mysterious family scandal. Matching the optimism of Ted Lasso with the youthful skepticism of Girls, The Eulogy Approach examines how fate and free-will affect our efforts to get unstuck from now.
