“The Rink” at 4th Wall Theatre

This innovative musical is set in the “Coney Island of the mind," on the ragged fringe of the New York show-biz world. Anna, the owner of a dilapidated roller skating rink on the boardwalk of a decaying seaside resort, has decided to sell her rink to developers and have them demolish the entire thing along with her sour memories. Complicating her plans is her prodigal daughter Angel, who returns to town seeking to reconnect with the people and places she long ago left behind. The rink becomes the arena in which mother and daughter examine their past, present and future. The show showcases some of Kander and Ebb’s best musical numbers.
