The Too Much Coffee Man Opera!
Comic-Con brings Shannon Wheeler's Too Much Coffee Man Opera to
San Diego for three FREE performances for convention members plus two community
performances. The Opera will be performed LIVE at the Horton Grand Theater (also known as the
"Triple Espresso" Theater), 444 Fourth Avenue in downtown San Diego, a few short
blocks from the Convention Center
(click here for a map).
The opera, created by Shannon Wheeler and based on his famous comics character,
chronicles the tragedy when Too Much Coffee Man, a simple, average cup o'joe,
falls for his caffeine-supplying barista. Vying for her attention is Espresso
Guy. Can all this coffee peacefully co-exist in the already-twitchy world of
relationships?
The Comic-Con member free performances are Friday, July 27 at 3:00, and
Saturday, July 28 at 1:30 and 11:00 PM. Seating is limited (the Horton Grand is
a small theater, but each seat is great). Tickets will be available for these
free performances at both Shannon Wheeler's booth (#2200) and the Comic-Con
booth (#2045).
The TMCM Opera will also be performed in two community performances open to the
general public. These performances will be on Friday, July 27 at 4:30 and 11:00
PM. Tickets are $25.00 and are available through Ticketmaster at
Ticketmaster.com or 619-220-TIXS and retail locations. Sponsored by Comic-Con
International. A complete list of sponsors is available in the left sidebar of this website.
