"Counter/Top" - Fridays and Saturdays Aug 11th -Aug 26th with a special preview on Thursday Aug 10th.

"Tea Time!" is a greasy spoon run by foul-mouthed matriarch Miss Betty and frequented by regulars like the kindhearted but totally incoherent Brooks. Two pressed and prim professors, Khent and Izzie, stop in for lunch-but they get more than a bad case of heartburn thanks to Liza and Gunner, a pair of teenaged troublemakers. Part raucous societal commentary, part sinister cat-and- mouse tale, Counter/Top forces us to consider what our own upbringings say about us, and to what lengths we'll go to hide them.
