GOLDIE, MAX & MILK

Max, a single lesbian, just gave birth. She’s unemployed with a house that’s falling apart, an ex on the loose, and no clue how to nurse her newborn. Can Goldie, an Orthodox Jewish lactation consultant, guide Max into motherhood? Or will conflicting family values get the better of them both?

A surprising and deeply human comedy about motherhood, family, and doing what comes naturally.

Part of 59E59 Theaters VOLT Festival 2022: celebrating the work of Karen Hartman.

About The Company

MBL Productions has spent nearly a decade producing American and New York premieres of courageous new plays and musicals, authentic stories that foster appreciation and understanding of community and the human experience. At 59E59, MBL most recently produced Fern Hill by Michael Tucker, Smart Blonde by Willy Holtzman, and C. O. A. L. – Confessions of a Liar by David Brian Colbert. www.mblproductions.net

VOLT is an unprecedented festival of three New York City premieres authored by one underrepresented writer. For the inaugural festival, we selected playwright Karen Hartman. Her critically acclaimed works have been produced by theaters around the country, and we are thrilled to share these stories in New York City for the first time.

We have invited three different non-profit theater companies to produce them, and they will be presented simultaneously across 59E59 Theaters’ three spaces in April and May.
