At the intersection of growing old and growing up, we meet Dave. Dave loved a woman. A lot of time passed, and then, all of this happened.

    Back of House weaves a poignant and authentic tale of aging, memory, and identity within the restaurant world. Doug Harris captures the tension between generations while exploring themes of privilege and inequality, all with humor and heart. A tender, well-crafted story with deep resonance.

    A beautifully rendered work. Authentically portrays the nuances of restaurant culture in its portrait of the power struggle between two drastically different young men, both fighting for the respect of a middle-aged man lost in memories of a different life. Manages to tackle big issues like white privilege and racial/economic inequality while also telling a very specific story rooted in believable, three-dimensional characters. Tender and funny and well-crafted.
