The Pink Banana Theatre Company has managed to navigate the strange twists and tilts in fate that befall a stage entity and somehow managed to emerge as a very reliable group. In the early days they had a very fun experimental DIY aesthetic. I remember some really striking and compelling experimental and political things they’d staged early on. Some of what they staged by Peter J. Woods and John Manno remain some of the most memorable stuff I’ve seen over the years.
First gaining official nonprofit status in 2004, the company has been around for over ten years. One week from today, (on Wednesday April 30th) Pink Banana announces it 2104 season with a party and fundraiser at Hanburger Mary’s on 2130 South Kinnickinnic.
Here’s the info on that event straight from the Facebook event page:
