A new play by Elias Matthews
(In the Ross Collins Playhouse)
Daniel struggles with the pressure of opening a new play. When everyone in his life tries to help, it makes it even more stressful. After the show becomes a hit, he has to deal with the ramifications… Coffee Mixed With Cream explores identity, biracial relationships, and struggling to accept love from the ones you hold dear.
