​
Despite the raging storm outside, it seems like a perfectly normal night for an employee meeting at the local coffee shop, The Bean Shack. That is until the lights go out and someone winds up dead. In this over-the-top whodunit, it's all about latte art, caffeine content and the imminent threat of death.
​
Characters needed:
Soma (f): 30s - loud & abrasive, a veteran barista, loves her job although doesn't act like it
Beverly (f): 50s-60s - typical, sweet midwestern lady, a regular at The Bean Shack
Cathi (f): 50s-60s - owner of The Bean Shack
Ivy (f): 20s-30s - another barista, prim, logical with a soft side who always follows the rules

Ian (m): 20s - sweet & naive, new employee
Neil (m): 40s - a regular at The Bean Shack
Ben (m): 20s - another barista, a buffoon, in love with Mel
