About the Show

In this solo comedy, thirty-eight year old New Yorker Rachel Yardley's ticking biological clock propels her into doing something that goes against everything she believes in: online dating.

Challenged by her sister’s dare to meet 50 men in three months, Rachel rises to the occasion. While desperately speed dating at Starbucks, she questions her past choices in ex-boyfriends, abandonment issues with her father, and why the only unconditional love she has ever known is with her dog.

Disappointing, Slow, Some funny parts

See it if You like small theater,and you have time. Show is ok.

Don't see it if It on the three floor, you have to walk. It not very funny. Read more

Banal, Cliched, Disappointing, Overrated, Romantic

See it if You want to hear/learn about online dating experience in the city, expected to be more funny, hate to give a bad review but was dissapointed

Don't see it if One act / one actor play, hear details of depressing NY dating scene, (1 man for every 5 women???), hopeless 45 attempts of online dating

Disappointing, Un-insightful, One person show, Falls short, Some good writing

See it if Ur looking to see exactly what the title describes w/out much fresh insight/originality. Upbeat music adds to story, so if u can empathize,

Don't see it if it might interest you. Falls short of expectation. Won't find much new meaning. Had thought, given set up, situation would be ripe 4 comedy~

Entertaining, Solo show, One woman's dating game, Caffeinated, Fluffy

See it if you fancy "bad date" anecdotes and / or sympathize with a 39-year-old woman's goal to find a husband

Don't see it if you'd enjoy a more polished piece or a "personal journey" with some insight and humility stirred in Read more

Cliched, Awkward, Self-indulgent, Unfunny

See it if If you want to hear what one bad date has to say her bad dates. Spoiler alert: happy ending. Highlight: upbeat hit songs on the soundtrack.

Don't see it if Her talent is not revealed in this performance.

Great writing, Entertaining, Great acting, Dated, Caffeinated

See it if Dated content that can easily be fixed with some updating.Nothing that a dating apps can’t fix.Actress is very talented + funny.

Don't see it if U can’t stand when the script doesn’t flow naturally out of the actor ‘s mouth. Repeting a word twice more than 8 times, it can b annoying.

Disappointing, Slow, Excruciating, Dated, Romantic

See it if a woman's journey to happiness re-enacted over 85 minutes without interruption appeals to you.

Don't see it if you want to see something original about the dating scene. Read more

Critic Reviews (2)

"A vividly-detailed autobiography of a middle-aged woman who describes her past journeys and struggles in life...Plenty of humor along the way, but also quite a few sad moments...Not all the jokes landed, but there were plenty others that did, and the more emotional parts of the play certainly resonated...Kasper takes the audience with her on her journey with captivating energy...Elliot stages this show wonderfully."

"Kasper recounts how she staggered through an online dating death march of Mr. Wrongs. Her war stories are mostly horrifyingly funny...What keep '45 Coffee Dates' from being simply an elongated stand-up comedy routine are her stories that swerve into the heartbreaking...And just when it seems as if her comic misery will go on forever, the play swerves again, this time into a happy world where her dreams actually do come true. She earns them."
