TAGLINE
When the café doors close for the day, these staff members offload their personal woes – and nothing’s off the table.
SHORT SYNOPSIS
Closing Time is a fast paced, light-hearted comedy about a group of co-workers and the love, laughter and camaraderie they share. 
SYNOPSIS
Karen, Penny, Angela and Brad work at Café Frankie’s and all come from various walks of life. However they do share one thing – life is full of surprises! And at 8pm Closing Time, they get to unleash their frustrations from the outside world and reveal the chaotic week they’ve had. Café Frankie’s is that safe space that we all crave where we are free to share our deepest fears, desires and where nothing is taboo. And the characters do just that.
Political correctness goes out the window as they share their stories covering anything and everything; indecent exposure, questionable parenting, social acceptance, sexual boundaries and more.
Although a sympathetic ear they try to be for one another, it usually ends up in mixed messages and clashing opinions. 
We love these characters because we know and can relate to at least one of them in our own lives.
