Coffee Dad, Chicken Mom, and the Fabulous Buddha Boy

Produced by Mischief and Mayhem Theatre

Coffee Dad, Chicken Mom and the Fabulous Buddha Boi is a show about family and love and finding out that who you thought you were and who your family thinks you are may not be the same person. It is also a show about love and finding peace with yourself, where you've been and who you're becoming.

Coffee Dad, Chicken Mom and the Fabulous Buddha Boi is pertinent for an audience today or any day because there isn't a single person in the entire world who hasn't struggled with gigantic questions of self and hasn't worried or wondered how their family will react. These moments of uncertainty and the desire for support are the things that bind us together as human beings. The desire for love and acceptance and certainty extends through the hearts of every global citizen.

We have chosen to present this show because it is simple, beautiful, well written and well performed. We want to expose this gorgeous, touching play to an audience beyond our tiny sphere of Western Canada and ultimately we want to remind people that they are not alone in their struggle and no matter how dark it seems someone is on your side and someone is there, sitting in a dark kitchen, holding your hand.
