Hipstory: I’d Tell You, But You’ve Probably Never Heard of It

A play about hipsters, the quest for identity, and brewing coffee.

I’m a poser, I’m a fraud, I’m pretentious, I’m an avid coffee drinker, vintage clothing wearer, vinyl spinner, trend setter. bicycle rider…

I’m me. I’m a HIPSTER.

Here’s my ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY!

In Hipstory, two suburbanite hipsters take you on a journey through their pasts, where you will meet cave people hipsters, samurai hipsters and even a Dutch coffee trading hipster. You will also encounter recognizable hipster motifs, such as second hand clothing purchases, overly manicured facial hair and being so original it physically hurts.
