The Café on Main

🎭 The Café on Main

The Café on Main is a heartfelt play about love, set in a cozy Long Island café where a world-wise proprietor observes the stories of life unfold at a prime table. Inspired by the timeless song “Moon River,” the play explores the mysteries of love and the unpredictable currents of life that can lead us to unexpected places.

In a world that could always use more love stories and happy endings, The Café on Main delivers both—with warmth, hope, and heart.
