"Within minutes of the start of this festival of short plays, one gets the impression that the Milk Can Theatre Company is a multitalented, imaginative group of theatrical artists. The 5 Borough Plays is a 75-minute ode to a beloved New York by an adoring New York theatre company. For this program, five playwrights were randomly assigned a borough. The results are inspired and highly entertaining." -NYTheatre.com
