Seven playwrights randomly drew a recipe from a hat, "with each recipe representing a course for a potluck dinner: appetizer, salad, main course, vegetables, dessert and drink." The result, according to the company, "is a seven-course theatrical feast."
Playwrights and work include:
The Pot Luck Plays will run May 3-13: Thursday May 3 and 10, Friday May 11 and Saturday May 6 at 8 PM; Saturday May 5 and Sunday May 6 at 2 PM; and Sunday May 6 and 13 at 6 PM, with a special benefit performance Saturday May 12 at 7:30 PM.
Performances play The Michael Weller Theatre, 311 West 43rd Street (sixth floor). Tickets are $18.
The 7:30 PM May 12 performance is part of The Milk Can Theatre Company's Spring Fling Benefit, and tickets are $40. Tickets are available by calling (212) 352-3101 or (866) 811-4111.

The Milk Can Theatre Company has teamed up with City Harvest, New York City's first and only food rescue program, to conduct a canned food drive in conjunction with The Potluck Plays. With a goal of delivering over 100 pounds of food to City Harvest they are asking audience members to contribute two cans of food; in return The Milk Can Theatre will discount $3 off the price of admission to The Potluck Plays.
