The coffeehouse showcases the cultures of international students on campus, who come from more than 30 countries. Ticket sales serve as a fundraiser for various international projects, including Goshen College international student scholarship assistance and ISC events. A percentage of the earnings from the dinner and show will also go to the International Red Cross to aid Syrians affected by the conflict in that country.

Tickets for both the dinner and show cost $18 for adults and $10 for students and children ($10/$5 performance only). Tickets for just the show cost $10 for adults and $5 for students and children. Dinner tickets tend to run out quickly. All tickets may be purchased by calling the Welcome Center at (574) 535-7566 or online at www.goshen.edu/tickets. Show tickets may also be purchased at the Music Center door.
