Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl Travels to Edinburgh Fringe
Award-Winning Canadian Show Tours the World’s Largest Theatre Festival
Toronto, ON… Rebecca Perry Productions is pleased to announce that Confessions of a
Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl will be touring to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world’s largest
performing arts festival, from August 5 - 31, 2015. The show will be presented by the Gilded
Balloon, one of the largest and best known venues at the Edinburgh Fringe. In 2014, the Gilded
Balloon operated nine venues with over 120 shows from across the globe. Tickets are now on
sale at the Edinburgh Fringe website: www.edfringe.com
Meet Joanie Little: feisty redhead and anthropology graduate. She’s stuck working as a barista in
corporate coffee shop. Eager to use her vocational skills, Joanie turns her coffee shop upside
down and starts reporting her findings on the “creatures” (customers) of her “Coffee Shop Jungle”
as though she were Jane Goodall herself, bushwhacking through the African jungle to study the
chimpanzees! Hilarity ensues! Bosses are angered! The local news has a field day! Jazzy tunes,
co-worker showdowns and life lessons in under an hour. This is for anyone who’s ever had a job
they couldn’t stand.
Confessions of a Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl premiered in Toronto in 2013, and has since
travelled to Winnipeg, Edmonton, Victoria, Stratford, London, Saskatoon, Victoria and New York
City. It has been filmed for Bell On Demand and has won numerous awards from its sold-out runs,
including:
Best Musical - BroadwayWorld.com
