The 14th edition of "East Side Stories," a new collection of one-act plays, premieres tonight at the Metropolitan Playhouse.
The works are "based on the rich history and eclectic character of [the] East Village and Lower East Side."
Here's a quick overview of what you'll find in "East Side Stories, Back Again" ... including one very well-known business on Avenue A...
• "Counting Pedestals" by Carlos Jerome
A community college student, focused on survival after a bid in prison, finds an unlikely bond with his mathematics professor.
• "Iriomote" by Arlene Jaffe
Greed and ego threaten the survival of two irreplaceable communities; one in lower Manhattan, the other more than 7,000 miles away.
• "The Poor Door" by Leonard Goodisman
Two women meet in an apartment building's entrance hall, each affronted by the other, and find they have more in common than they expected.
• "Ray's Candy Store" by Rachael Carnes
An aspiring actress, finding life in the city more difficult than she expected, meets a candy store owner who offers her a new perspective and an egg cream.
The run ends on June 23. You can find ticket info at this link. The Metropolitan Playhouse is at 220 E. Fourth St. between Avenue A and Avenue B.
