Poughkeepsie Play

An experimental performance. When your play or act needs to be vetted by a live audience you need an off off off broadway location in a press desert so if it bombs hardly anyone will notice. Leave the Great White Way then take the MetroNorth to the end of the line to put on a Poughkeepsie Play at the Bardavon Theatre. Leave your expectations at the door, this might blow you away or bore you to sleep.
