WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
With potential for more but nowhere to put it, sixteen-year-old Annie's got a choice: honor the pregnancy pact she made with her friends, or find the path to a brighter future. In this searing, sharply observant new play, Kirsten Greenidge finds savage humor and gritty poetry in one inner-city girl's struggle to carve out a life beyond the only one she knows.
"Kirsten Greenidge's Milk Like Sugar is one of the WORKS OF ART for which 2011 will be remembered."
--Bob Verini, Variety
"A TERRIFIC CAST. The great Tonya Pinkins gives a SENSATIONAL, FRAME-BUSTING performance, biting into the humor with FEROCIOUS INTENSITY."
--Charles Isherwood, NY Times
"REMARKABLE, sweet-natured and warmly compassionate. Rebecca Taichman's production is a cool blend of daring and sensitivity. The acting is virtually FLAWLESS."
-- Michael Feingold, Village Voice

Kirsten Greenidge takes audiences on an inner-city teenage girl's roller-coaster ride of self discovery in Milk Like Sugar, at Playwrights Horizons. Simultaneously gritty and lyrical, the show, directed with care by Rebecca Taichman, proves to be an exhilarating and moving experience, filled with a host of fine performances.
At the play's center is Annie (Angela Lewis), who is celebrating her 16th birthday by getting a tattoo. As cell phones buzz with incoming text messages and she and her two BFFs, Talisha (Cherise Boothe) and Margie (Nikiya Mathis) chat, the trio make a pact to all have babies together during the course of the just-beginning school year. Margie's already pregnant and c[...]
