American Coffee
by Victor Bumbalo

NIAGARA FALLS consists of two connected one acts: AMERICAN COFFEE and THE SHANGRI-LA MOTOR INN “Rich comic cadences...Bumbalo is a funny guy.”Marilyn Stasio, New York Post “Funny...

Lively...

Bumbalo demonstrates a healthy satiric wit, aimed at both straights and gays, and a lively sense of comic dialogue.”Bernard Weiner, San Francisco Chronicle “NIAGARA FALLS dares to tread in delicate areas...

Bumbalo scores some sharp character comedy...the play’s overall treatment of a situation and a rejected social class who receive little `gay’ treatment is most welcomed.”Nicholas de Jongh, The Guardian (London) “Funny and incisive.”Rob Baker, Daily News “Bumbalo must have secretly taped parents across the country.

He outdoes Neil Simon....

It is a finely written work.”John Kerr, Bay Area Reporter “A maximum of both humor and pathos...I could have cheered.”James M Saslow, The Advocate “There is a basic humanity here that one finds in very few plays.”Michael Bronski, Gay Community News “NIAGARA FALLS is a tender, canny, and frequently hilarious comedy.”Alan Stern, The Boston Phoenix
