Know Theatre presents the world premiere of Darcy Parker Bruce's Always Plenty of Light at the Starlight All Night Diner, opening tomorrow, February 22 at 8 PM and running through March 16.
This queer romance/time-travel adventure comedy is directed by Alice Flanders and features Leah Strasser, Lormarev Jones, Maggie Cramer, and Michael Burnham.
It's just your average night at the Starlight All-Night Diner - coffee, cigarettes, secret longings begging to be confessed, a mysterious comet in the night's sky - you know, the usual.
Overnight janitor Sam and her very pregnant compatriot, late-night waitress Jessa, are passing the time polishing the fixtures and polishing off some coconut cream pie.
But just as Sam is ready to spill her heart, in bursts the frantically brilliant Dr. Moxie and his graduate assistant, Danni, with a revelation that the comet isn't just a pretty celestial event - it's the end of the world as we know it.
Armed with a coffee maker, a backup generator, and a conveniently-timed scientific breakthrough, Dr. Moxie has a plan to get the ladies of his favorite diner out of harm's way.
But of course, even the most brilliant scientist can't account for every variable...
In this charmingly queer love story, the stakes are more than life-and-death - they're life-or-extinction.
