READING: Regular, No Sugar by Richard Hoehler
PUBLIC READING
REGULAR, NO SUGAR is a Capra-esque comedy about a family-owned coffee shop in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood in the Bronx—to sell or not to sell a beloved diner where no one has to ask how you take your coffee, because they know.
Richard Hoehler (Writer) Hoehler’s original theatre work (New Jersey/New York, Working Class, Human Resources, I of the Storm) have run Off Broadway, regionally, and abroad, and he is the winner of the OOBR for Best Solo Performance. E was performed at Cornelia Street Café, The Brooklyn Commons, Hudson View Gardens, and DVAA.
