We are absolutely thrilled to be entering season number seven! Here's what you can look forward to:

• We've added TWO new company members: Seth Gamble and Lorraine Cink. Seth is a director and costumer. Lorraine is a triple threat: actor, writer, and director.
• We've added a fabulous new board member: Candice Alustiza. Among her many talents, she is the Casting Associate on the TV show, Ugly Betty.
• We'll be presenting FIVE Scene Herd Uddered (SHU) developmental workshops this season.
• We'll be back at Urban Stages for our Spring Mainstage: the kooky comedy Life Among the Natives by ML Kinney, in rep with our annual ten-minute play festival around a theme. This year, we bring you "The Therapy Plays."
• We are so pleased to announce that set designer Ann Bartek has won the Princess Grace Award! As a result, she will be Milk Can's resident set designer all season long!
• Be sure to join us on the third Thursday of every month for some serious socializing at Conker Hill Bar (640 10th Avenue, at 45th St.) from 6:30pm on! "Third Thursday" is a time to hang out and talk theatre. No RSVP necessary. Come to drink, talk, play darts, and just have a good time!

Swimming Uptown is the story of a Samantha Alexander, a professional African-American woman who has her world turned upside down when her sister is imprisoned and she must look after her teenaged niece Tiya. In attempting to cope with the chaos her life has become, Samantha is forced to reconnect with her family -- and herself.

Swimming Uptown is part of our Scene Herd Uddered workshop series.

Jennifer is busy navigating the modern upper middle class life in NYC while trying to fill the emptiness inside her. When an unexpected pregnancy rocks her perceptions of perfection, she finds that things are not always as they seem and that she may find family in a place she least expects it.
