| Description: Meghan Kennedy’s The Counter is a three‑person play about an unlikely friendship that forms between a lonely diner regular and a waitress, exploring themes of connection, trauma, and the tension between intimacy and transactional relationships. Set in a small‑town diner in upstate New York, the story follows Paul, a retired firefighter struggling with chronic pain and insomnia, and Katie, a waitress with her own hidden past. Their daily coffee ritual becomes the foundation for a slow‑blossoming friendship. What begins as casual conversation deepens when Paul suggests they “become real friends” — sharing secrets and offering each other support. | |
