Meet Alistair, a neurotic, cat-hating perfectionist, a deluded and self-involved restaurant manager.

Now meet Lucinda, a quirky, depressed, once-upon-a-time-painter living above Alistair's restaurant.

They don't get along.

Enter George, the self-assured, sometimes cocky kitchen hand and full-time art student, who thinks he can motivate Lucinda.

Ha. Right.

Finally, add an event, say the mayor's 50th birthday, and you've got WAITER PAINTER, T.R.O.U.T.S' end of semester production.
