From acclaimed Canadian performer Rebecca Perry comes this one-woman "showsical" just as much about identity as it is about coffee. Joanie Little, an "adorkable" graduate stuck paying off debt decides to make the most out her barista job by reporting about the humans of her coffee shop as though she were Jane Goodall herself, bushwhacking through the African jungle to observe the chimps. A tour-de-force that makes you laugh one minute and cry the next! Complete with live music, zombies, earthquakes, co-worker showdowns and a talking coffee mug for a boss!

Rebecca Perry is thrilled to be touring to NYC with her show. As an actor, singer and writer Rebecca has worked with a variety of companies across Canada in theatre and film. Confessions Of A Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl was created and performed by Rebecca in Toronto then later traveled the Canadian Fringe circuit and parts of the US to much acclaim ("A ???? performer" - CBC Canada) and garnering two theatre awards.
