Meet Peg. We could tell you exactly how she fits into THE COUNTER. But where's the fun in that?

Courtney Cook joins Talia Lin and Kyle Holman in Meghan Kennedy’s quiet, intimate and increasingly suspenseful story of connection, trauma and hope.

Meet Paul. A retired firefighter and diner regular, Paul keeps coming back to the same place, the same counter and the person behind it.

He's struggling with pain. And somewhere along the way, his conversations with Katie begin to become something more.

Kyle Holman stars as PAUL in THE COUNTER.

And just like that… the walls came tumbling down. 🔨

Thanks to a crack team of TNT volunteers, our latest set was broken down in just 2.5 hours, with boards recycled, the stage cleared and the theatre officially one step closer to our next show.

The best part? We had longtime volunteers and board members working alongside returning AND brand-new volunteers. That’s how this little theatre keeps doing big things.

There was teamwork. There was demolition. There were Cool Ranch Doritos.

Want to get your hands a little dirty with us? Learn more about volunteering with TNT at terrificnewtheatre.com.

Meet me at the counter. ☕️

Terrific New Theatre’s 40th season continues with THE COUNTER by Meghan Kennedy, September 10-27.

In a small-town diner in Upstate New York, Katie is a waitress with secrets. Paul is a retired firefighter, a regular customer and a man struggling with pain.

Over coffee, conversation and the comfort of routine, an unexpected friendship begins to form.

Quiet, intimate and characterized as a “slow-brewing thriller,” THE COUNTER explores connection, trauma and the possibility of finding hope in unexpected places.

Directed by Tawny Stephens.

Five shows left. Six tickets. You decide. We call it a FLEX Pass for a reason.

Use all six tickets for one show. Bring a friend to three. See all five remaining shows and use that extra ticket to bring someone along to your favorite.

Your tickets. Your season. Your call.

Still ahead at TNT:

THE COUNTER — September
SWEENEY TODD — November
CASEY AND DIANA — February
AN OAK TREE — April
ART — June

General Flex Passes are $175 for six tickets.

Want opening nights instead? The Opening Night Flex Pass gives you six tickets that can be used for opening nights — complete with post-show receptions with the cast and creative teams — or redeemed for other performances if your plans change. Because committing to six specific nights months in advance? We would never ask that of theatre people.

We call them FLEX for a reason! https://buff.ly/GXTcTwN

That’s a wrap on ALL NIGHTER! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first production of TNT’s 40th season. Whether you came opening night, caught us somewhere along the way or helped spread the word, we’re so grateful you chose to spend part of your summer with us.

And, of course, a huge thank you to the cast, creative team, crew and volunteers who brought ALL NIGHTER to life.

One show down. Five more to go.

Here’s to a terrific 40th season.
