  Milk Like SugarAugust 30 - September 25 Potiker Theatre
By Kirsten Greenidge Like all teenagers, 16-year-old Annie and her friends crave the hottest designer phones, handbags and fashion. But their prospects for the good life seem limited in the dead-end town they call home. When the girls decide to create their own future by entering into a pregnancy pact, Annie is confronted with the challenge of choosing between the safety of the life she knows and the danger of the life she desires. Winner of the prestigious Edgerton Foundation's New American Plays Award, Milk Like Sugar is a coming-of-age story for our times. Kirsten Greenidge's new play is written with warmth, humor and a beautiful, raw honesty about being a teenager today. Contains strong language, adult content, and cigarette smoke.
