Play Synopsis
Coffee Shop Werewolf follows the fresh-out-of-college Eloise as she starts working her first job at a cafe near her hometown. After hearing her co-workers joking that their boss is a werewolf, Eloise takes this idea and runs with it by writing a mystery novel based on the idea that her boss, Roman, is in fact a monster. Unfortunately, her coworkers find the book she wrote about them and decide to have a little fun: by making her think everything she wrote was true and blurring the line between reality and fantasy.
