2008-2009 Season |

SHU: Heffetz • October 20, 2008
Written by Hanoch Levin • Directed by Riv Massey • Dramaturg: Bethany Larsen |
|
We opened our sixth season with a Scene Herd Uddered (SHU) workshop performance of Heffetz. It's a dark comedy about the hopelessness of mankind. It was published in 1972 and has never had a full production in the U.S. The play had a previous SHU workshop in November and December of 2007.

SHU: Pretty • November 17, 2008
Written by Sharon E. Cooper • Directed by Kitt Lavoie |
Inspired by the idea of what it's like to be a woman, even a young woman, in the age of Botox, Pretty follows a group of women friends over a ten-year period, from their days in college to one of their weddings.

SHU: 10021: A Modern Tragedy • December 15, 2008
Written by Bethany Larsen • Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer |
|
Murder, incest, political intrigue, and a werewolf...all on Park Avenue. This is a modern pop culture infused twist on John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi, set in Manhattan's fanciest zip code.

|
SHU: Balance • March 30, 2009
Written by ML Kinney • Directed by Riv Massey |
Balance is a look at the politics of being female. How do an Indian warrior, an American soldier, and a home grown activist all end up late for dinner?
FUN FACT: Did you know that all four actresses in this Scene Herd Uddered (SHU) workshop have particpated in at least one other SHU? (Three of them earlier this season!)

Galileo • April 30 - May 16, 2009
Written by Bertolt Brecht • Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer |

|
Not often produced, Galileo is a play about science, religion, truth, and personal integrity. Though it was written more than seventy years ago, Galileo tells a story and asks questions filled with relevence for today's audience. Galileo was a man who chose to appeal to the people - writing in plain language and pushing for practicality above all else. He was met by Roman insiders who appreciated the money he could make them, but didn't like his populist ways. His fall from grace was both inevitable and tragic.

The Science Plays • May 2 - 17, 2009
Written by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, Cheryl L. Davis, ML Kinney, Bethany Larsen, Riv Massey, Andy Snyder
Directed by Seth Gamble, Bethany Larsen, Riv Massey, Bobbi Masters, Ryan Ratelle |
Each of our playwrights was assigned an era of science (the Atomic Age, the Dark Ages, etc.) and asked to write a ten-minute play. The results are funny, intelligent, and just a little bit dark. From an egomaniacal (and frustratingly slow moving) Archimedes to a couple picking out their genetically perfect baby, we've created a intriguing panorama of science, and it's ethical uncertanties, through time.

The Milk Can, After Dark • May 2 - May 16, 2009
Written and Performed by Katie Northlich |

|
The first ever Three-Time National Monologue Slam Champion, Katie Northlich, presented her new one-woman show. This late night laugh fest included a series of character monologues and concluded with one of Katie's famous improvised endings.
Katie is a talented comedienne who seamlessly mixes humor with raw emotion. She is a familiar face at Milk Can, having appeared in our last three ten-minute play festivals to rave reviews each time!
