2006-2007 Season
 
The Uncertainty Principle • October 2006
Written by Bethany Larsen • Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer
Have you ever had that dream where you're falling? What if you had that dream even when you were awake?

"Few playwrights can write an interesting dramatic work about Heisenberg's most famous theorem of quantum physics, which postulates that one cannot know both the position and momentum of an object with absolute precision. Even fewer writers can take such an idea and make it accessible to the audience through a moving, funny, meaningful, and relevant story. But Bethany Larsen has done both in The Uncertainty Principle..." -Theatermania.com

Trojan Women 2.0 • October 2006
Written by Charles Mee • Directed by Lauren Reinhard
What happens when our world falls apart and we have to take responsibility for it? One man's journey. What's yours?

"Mee mashes his source material together with references to contemporary history and popular culture to create a beautiful and often devastating mosaic that is simultaneously an antiwar play, a tone poem to erotic love, and a meditation on sex, class, and gender...at a time when commercial and institutional theater has largely failed (with notable exceptions) to engage with the events and issues dominating what remains of public discourse, Milk Can should be applauded for taking on the project..." -offoffonline.com

Scene Herd Uddered: Galileo • May 7, 2007
Written by Bertolt Brecht • Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer
"Intelligence is not to make no mistakes,
but quickly to see how to make them good."

Regarded as one of Brecht's masterpieces, Galileo is a fictionalized history of the scientist Galileo Galilei.   The play's major themes are science versus religion, poor versus wealthy, knowledge versus ignorance, and the ethical responsibilities of the scientist.
The Potluck Plays • May 2007

Each play is based on a different recipe. Milk Can members brought in a recipe for their assigned pot luck course (appetizer, salad, dessert, drink, etc.) and then each playwright drew a recipe from a hat. This funny and fabulous collection of plays is the result!

Spring Fling 2007 • May 12, 2007

A very good time was had by all at our wild, crazy, amazingly awesome, unbelievably unique, and just totally fabulous annual Spring Fling fundraiser!

Scene Herd Uddered: By Oscar Micheaux • July 9, 2007
Written by Cheryl L. Davis • Directed by Catherine Miller Hardy

The play tells the story of Oscar Micheaux, an African-American who recreated himself and the newborn American film industry in the name of "uplifting the Race."   Against all odds, Micheaux became a successful playwright, novelist and director of over 40 films in segregated, early 20th century America.
Scene Herd Uddered: Running • July 12, 2007
Written by Sharon E. Cooper • Directed by Pat Diamond

Running follows three gay men and one of their mothers from New York to Kentucky after an unexpected death. They are forced to deal with their relationships, their past, and their secrets.
