Gordana Rashovich, currently on standby for Olympia Dukakis, will play the role of "Flora Goforth" on Wednesday evenings through March 30th.

The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore officially opened on Sunday, January 30th, 2011 at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street). The limited engagement has been extended through Sunday, April 10th, 2011.

In this haunting Tennessee Williams drama, Olympia Dukakis stars as Flora Goforth, a wealthy American widow.
