Social support meets substance abuse in hand-to-hand combat. And the winner is?
Addiction. Relationships. Recovery. Redemption. And one awesome coffee shop. Get ready to rock as the Hard Luck Café welcomes you with camaraderie, laughter, and, its own special brand of “griddle therapy.”
Welcome to The Hard Luck Café where the coffee is strong and the beat is hot. Join recovering alcoholics Joe and Mimi as they offer Cynthia and other lost souls fresh out of rehab a safe place to get back on their feet and reinvent themselves.
Will Cynthia’s job keep her on the journey to reinvention? Or will she be derailed by the anger of her teen-aged daughter, Katie?
Dear Friends, The workshop production of Welcome to the Hard Luck Cafe that was to be presented by the Musical Theatre Department at the Catholic University in Washington D.C. on March 7th-8th, 2024 has been postponed due to my husband’s illness. Stay tuned for a rescheduled production.
Directed by Jay Brock
Music Direction by Elisa Rosman
