Going into Trinity Presbyterian Church to see the original play, Java Tacoma: Episode 38, by local (Federal Way) author Curtis B. Swanson, almost seems like the set up or start of a joke.
"So this preacher, writer and actor walk into a bar ..."
Instead, patrons walked into the fellowship hall and were encouraged to take free coffee from Bluebeard Coffee Roasters and baked goods. The seats were set up in two long rows and on the same level as the acting space - helping to pull the audience into the performance. There wasn't a ton of seating, but all the seats were filled.
