The play follows Cassie's journey as she tries to make sense of her life after she loses everything in a fire. Not only does she lose what little she owned, but her tenuous grip on positive thinking is seriously challenged. Aided by a circus ringmaster with a penchant for physics and a potential new love, Cassie takes a walk through her life to see if it really is possible to have it all. The play is based on Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

Scene Herd Uddered: Impossible Lorca: A Theatrical Hat-Trick • March 2006
Written by Federico García Lorca • Translated/Adapted by Caridad Svich • Directed by Melissa Fendell
|
|
Impossible Lorca: A Theatrical Hat-Trick
is comprised of three of Lorca's Impossible Plays:
Buster Keaton Takes A Walk ** WORLD PREMIERE**
Buster Keaton appears, as it would seem, on screen. Yet, he doesn't belong in the world that Lorca has created for him. He is tragically flawed, misunderstood and misunderstanding in the cinematic American landscape moving on the screen behind him.
Chimera
Henry ambivalently prepares to leave his wife and children to go on a business trip. His children spend their last few minutes with him requesting souvenirs, creating a conflict of material want and emotional desire and fulfillment, while his wife laments the solitary life she now is forced to live.
The Maiden, The Sailor and The Student
A portrait of the doomed love between a young Maiden, hungry for love, and two of her suitors. Ultimately, when given the opportunity to lose herself to one of the men, she realizes it can never be.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead • May 2006
Written
by Tom Stoppard • Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer |
Tom Stoppard's funny, absurd, and tragic play centers on Hamlet minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, in their misadventures and musings enroute to their inevitable end.
"There’s a production of this play just about every season somewhere off-off Broadway, and this is certainly one to have a look at for both Stoppard fans—and those who should be."

The Hamlet Plays • May 2006 |
|
The Hamlet Plays are a collection of six ten-minute plays, written by Milk Can's Artistic Associates.
"Each of the plays is written by a Milk Can Theatre Company associate, and as the press materials state, the plays '[allow] each artistic associate to take a crack at what Stoppard did 30 years ago.' The result is a very entertaining and enjoyable hour of theatre... I really had a good time watching these playful views of Hamlet 's characters and this company of artists that makes it work." - nytheatre.com

Spring Fling 2006 • May 2006 |
Springtime is the right time to clean out the cobwebs, and emerge from winter feeling fresh and energized, and on May 6th, we took over the private upstairs room of O'Lunney's Times Square Pub. The evening featured great food, music, and an exciting array of prizes (including hot Broadway tickets, dinner at wonderful New York restaurants, hand-made pottery and jewelry, and signed items from the cast of Grey's Anatomy, to name just a few), as well as the popular 50/50 raffle. Thank you to all of the donors and partygoers who made our annual fundraising party such a great sucess!
