Spring is Sprung - Under the Blue Sky premiers on May 19th!

As winter in NYC finally seems to be leaving us (we actually saw cherry blossoms this morning!) MTG is gearing up for a busy spring with a little loving Under the Blue Sky. Thanks to an immensely successful Kickstarter campaign earlier this year rehearsals are now well under the way for the NYC premier of David Eldridge's award-winning play which opens at The Kraine Theatre in the East Village on Thursday May 19th 2011. First staged at The Royal Court in 2000, Under the Blue Sky centers on six teachers and their various psycho-sexual hang-ups, so it's sure to be a doozy of a show! Here's the info:
