Theatre East is pleased to announce the five playwrights selected for the 2017-2018 5x5 Drama Series. BOB'S BIRTHDAY by Lowell Bartholomee, JUMPING UP AND DOWN HAPPY TOWN by Lori Fischer, OH, DANNY BOY by Edward Allan Baker, WE THREE by Julia Rae Maldonado, and FAINT TASTE OF CAT FOOD AND SOUR MILK by Barbara Blumenthal-Ehrlich.
Set in modern-day Red Bank, Tennessee, PETIE is essentially a Greek tragedy and like the heroes of those classics, Bonnie is a sad portrait of proud thoughtlessness that corrodes over self-inflicted loathing.
Theatre East's 2017-18 Season kicks off with the World Premiere of Petie from tonight, September 22nd to Saturday, October 7th at Urban Stages, 259 West 30th Street (between 7th and 8th Aves).
