Transport Group Hosts A Reading Of BLUE TUESDAY 3/2

Transport Group presents a reading of Frank Anthony Polito's play, BLUE TUESDAY on Tuesday March 2, 2010 @ 7pm at 37 West 26th Street, Penthouse (b/w Sixth Ave. & Broadway), NYC.

Originally produced at the 2007 NY Fringe Festival under the title ANOTHER DAY ON WILLOW ST*, the play tells the parallel story of two couples (one gay, one straight) living in Brooklyn Heights at the Dawn of the New Millennium as both struggle to find the meaning of love, sacrifice, and living for today...before it's too late.

"Wall Street investment banker, Ian Brown, and his eight months pregnant wife, Stacy Gold, live in a beautiful brownstone on Willow Street in Brooklyn Heights. When Stacy gives up her book publicist job to become a stay-at-home Mom, she soon gets bored with sitting on the Promenade, sipping Starbucks. With time on her hands, Stacy begins to fear losing what little intimacy she and Ian have left, once the baby arrives.

Aspiring actor, Mark Gray, and his lover, Paul Green, have been living long-distance for the past six months. Mark keeps a studio on Willow Street, while Paul works as a lawyer in Boston, near his sick mother. When Mark learns of Paul's mom's dying wish to see him marry her son, he is faced with the reality of finally telling his parents he's gay. With time running out, Mark soon discovers what committing himself fully to another person truly entails."

An earlier draft of Blue Tuesday premiered at the 2007 New York International Fringe Festival under the title Another Day on Willow St, where it was named "Outstanding New Play" by Talkin' Broadway.
