Synopsis


The Milk Can Theatre Company concludes its fifth season with The 5 Borough Plays, a showcase of five original short plays inspired by the five boroughs of New York City. Five playwrights randomly drew a borough from a hat: Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island, Manhattan and Queens. The resulting work is The 5 Borough Plays, a marathon evening of theatre through the five boroughs of New York City. Playwrights and work include:

1600 Feet
Public fighting is a New York phenomenon and in this musical version, the fight stems from an inter-borough romance. Music, lyrics and direction by Colleen Darnall, book by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer (inspired by Brooklyn)

A Visit to the Bronx
Time collides in this family drama by Sharon E. Cooper, directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer (inspired by the Bronx)

Stan and Illy Await the Coming
Written and directed by ML Kinney, with a nod to Samuel Beckett, our sock puppet heroes wait for the Ferry (inspired by Staten Island)

Peace Through Understanding
A trip to the 1964 World's Fair brings a couple's relationship into focus. Written by Cheryl L. Davis, and directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer (inspired by Queens)

Hot Corn Girl Sings Her Song
An obscure bit of Manhattan history prompts a woman to examine her modern life, written and directed by Bethany Larsen (inspired by Manhattan).

Saturday evening May 10th is a special benefit performance and party to celebrate The Milk Can Theatre Company's amazing 2007/2008 Season. The festivities include dancing, drinking, food, a silent auction showcasing work from various area artists, and plenty of surprises, all at O'Lunney's Times Square Pub, 145 West 45th Street. Tickets to join the celebration are $45.00 per person, which includes The 5 Borough Plays theatre ticket, and pass to the Spring Fling Party at O'Lunney's. Theatre tickets can be used for any performance of The 5 Borough Plays. Please note that all tickets for the 7:00 pm performance May 10th include a ticket to the Spring Fling.
