How many times can you say "pull myfinger" before it's ripped off and eaten? A QUIET SIP OF COFFEE is the tale of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf', as told by two men who haven't learned its lesson. This new creation by ANIMAL PARTS may contain: lying for attention, wild optimism,jokes about things one should never joke about, needless rescues, and a ravenous wolf-man.
Anthony Johnston and Nathan Schwartz, creators of the 2009 Fringe NY Outstanding Solo Show ART'SHEART and the 2010 Frigid Festival favorite ***[tenderpits]***, have teamed up with award-winning, international director Anita Rochon (The Chop Theatre) - to bring you a darkly comic vaudevillian freak-show about friendship.
