Nov. 6-8 — ROCHESTER — It’s just an ordinary day at the Crazy 8 Café…or is it? The White River Valley Players showcase eight short plays in this clever production, which uses the fictional “Crazy 8 Café” as the setting for all. Lovers meet, break up, deals are made, and characters’ lives change forever. These short comedies range from absurd to poignant to madcap to heartwarming and back again.

Come see old favorites, discover new ones, and be prepared to be entertained at the Crazy 8 Café. Running time is approximately two hours, with one intermission. Note there is some PG-level language.
