Short stories over coffee breaks

Interested in a change from the routine Friday or Saturday night?

Orange Coast College is offering a coffee break of sorts the next two weekends with “Fresh Brewed: Tales from the Coffee Bar,” a series of short vignettes written by Henry Meyerson.

The brief performances are funny, clever and at times, insightful, school officials said in a news release.

The production will run Friday through Oct. 11 in the school’s Drama Lab Studio Theatre.

Evening shows are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Afternoon shows will take place at 2:30 p.m. Sundays.

Tickets are $5 in advance or $7 at the door. You can buy tickets at occtickets.com or calling the OCC Bursar’s office at (714) 432-5880.
