Have fun with Kickstarter and help us make a play!

It's official. You can now give us money!



Plastic Flamingo Theatre Company is taking Fit a play by Erin Austin, directed by Ross Evans, to the New York International Fringe Festival in August 2011.

Fit is a play about three generations of women, all at the age of twenty. Mary tends to her grieving grandfather, Fiona grapples with motherhood, and Lauren prepares to flee. Celtic music, dresses, and mental disorders pass through all three women. Will this granddaughter, mother, and grandmother, all at the age of twenty, overcome their ghosts and find a good fit? Austin's play celebrates the tradition of Celtic music and the uniquely comical and often mystical culture of Scotland. Also, it explores the deeply rooted psychological emotions tied into a woman's quest for beauty and physical perfection- emotions that defy age, time, and country.

While every member of our cast and crew are working gratis, we still need funds for festival fees, marketing, costumes, lighting and set.

Season Wrap-Up




Well guys, PFTC has officially ended is first real season. And what a season it was.

We began with the "Get a Clue" Festival at Bar 82 in November. We brought together artists of all kinds for two weeks of crazy ten minute play making.

In March, we moved to Under St. Mark's Theater where we did a reading of Fit by Erin Austin- a play that was accepted into the NYC Fringe Festival and will be performed this August!

Following, Fit was a reading of Team Awesome by Ross Evans. And it was...awesome. (USM)

May was all about Single's Night. 7 writers, 7 solo plays, and a sold out show!(USM)

Get ready for Fit this summer. We also have a couple of surprises up our sleeves.
