Comic Soap Opera: Tacoma-Style
Something unique is happening in Tacoma theatre. A comic soap opera
about three life-long friends who meet every day at a Tacoma coffee
house, is about to tickle our collective funny bone once more!
Jeri, Kate and Linda join forces once again to commit manic mayhem over
at Tacoma's Perky's Coffee House. This time, a suave but untrustworthy
stranger enters their lives. Could this mean romance for one of our
ladies, or a reason for comic revenge? Loosely inspired by William
Shakespeare’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” JAVA TACOMA is a celebration
of friendship, middle-aged womanhood and all things Tacoma.
JAVA TACOMA 4: The Merry Wives Americano is the fourth installment of an
original soap opera/sit-com, presented by Dukesbay Productions. Written
by Tacoma playwright Matthew L. Anderson, this theatrical serial is
generously peppered with Tacoma and Pacific Northwest humor. It is
rated PG for occasional mild language.
