About the Show
Paris is the setting for Joshua Piper’s romantic dramedy,
Café Americano, a featured event of the 2024 Fresh Fruit Festival New Works Festival.
Café Americano — Joshua Piper’s dramedy centers on Texas, a young, accomplished playwright-actor-TV writer, mourning the premature passing of his beloved husband. Needing a change of scenery, he leaves New York behind him for the sights and sounds of Paris as a proper venue to soften his grief and allow him the solitude to write his next play. A chance meeting with a barista’s husband complicates his plans. One does not escape love in Paris as much as end up immersed in it. Jayson Cahillane directs.
