THE BALTIMORE WALTZ
By Paula Vogel
Directed by Alan Piotrowicz
Featuring the talents of Kelly Coffey, Mark Neufang, and David Franz
When Anna, an unmarried teacher, is diagnosed with Acquired Toilet Disease (ATD), a fatal new malady with a high risk factor for elementary school teachers, she and her brother Carl take flight to Europe. Anna decides she wants to drown herself in the sensuality of food and sex, while Carl becomes involved in a wild Third Mannish espionage scheme to find a cure for his sister on the Continent. A winner of the Obie Award, Vogel’s play is a giddy, fleet fantasy based on the love and adventures of a brother and sister and “…a crazy-quilt patchwork of hyperventilating language, erotic jokes, movie kitsch and medical nightmare…that spins before the audience in Viennese waltz time, replete with a dizzying fall.” (New York Times)
A new series in a new space!
In 2011, Pink Banana partnered with Falls Patio Players to present a preview reading of our production of Dead Man’s Cell Phone. Following the amazing feedback from this event, we are excited to announce this new Reading Series. The offerings for fall 2012 and spring 2013, collectively entitled “Captivating,” feature intriguing characters battling their own confinement – be it death, society, or disease. Please join us for these exciting and truly “theatrical” evenings in our brand-new space in the Underground Collaborative and help support emerging artists in the Milwaukee theatre scene.
