THE RED COAT by John Patrick Shanley
A teenage boy in the Bronx lies in wait outside a party for a girl he hardly knows. His mission, which he accomplishes with touching, if halting, effectiveness, is to tell her that he loves her.

Two weeks ago, we premiered the inaugural MC Libby Commission, “Father’s Sin” by Maleek Rae with music by Xander Browne. Directed by POA Alum, Goldie E. Patrick.
This week, we’re back with another rockstar cast, POA Alums, Amy Ryan and Michael Stuhlbarg in John Patrick Shanley’s “The Red Coat”.
