The Milky Way Cabaret

By Greg Romero

THE MILKY WAY CABARET concerns the convergence of a coterie of desperate and unlikely characters at a nightclub (of the same name) in South Philadelphia. The piece revolves around an alcoholic magician trying to win his family back by performing a disappearing act, a pair of clown-costumed assassins who put out cigarettes on each other’s faces and fall in love while staked out near the nightclub, a dildo-wielding club owner who grows steadily more and more fed up, a hula-hooping ex-Homecoming Queen struggling to come to terms with the dissolution of her marriage and the grown-up version of the magician’s daughter taking a series of dangerous trips back in time, through black holes, in an attempt to save her father’s life.
