NEWS BRIEFS APAC celebrating 10 years

ASTORIA – The Astoria Performing Arts Center (APAC) is celebrating its 10th Anniversary season and has a number of expected hits including four time 2010 Innovative Theatre Award Nominated play, “MilkMilkLemonade” Joshua Conkel, and Galt MacDermot’s musical, “The Human Comedy” as the main stage productions. Both works explore the idea of “home” from a uniquely American perspective.

“I’m looking forward to celebrating APAC’s ten year anniversary throughout the entire season,” said APAC Executive Director Taryn Drongowski. “Reaching this milestone is incredibly gratifying. We haven’t just reached the 10-year mark; we’ve managed to grow each and every year.”

The season commences on October 28 with MilkMilkLemonade, directed by José Zayas. The play, which runs through November 13, is a comedy about gay children, a parasitic twin, an antagonistic grandmother, a depressed chicken and our growing bodies.

MilkMilkLemonade ran last fall in New York, in a co-production by The Management and Horse Trade Theater Group, directed by Isaac Butler.

In May, APAC will produce the musical The Human Comedy, with music by Galt MacDermot, the composer of HAIR.
