Port Authority Breakdown
By Annie Raczko
SYNOPSIS
After a late-night improv show, Annie’s car dies on the fifth floor of the Port Authority garage…and so does her sense of control. Armed with 30% iPhone battery, questionable problem-solving skills, and a rotating cast of strangers, she spirals through roadside assistance, family group chats, and her own anxiety, until even the pigeons get involved. A solo musical comedy about being stranded, unraveling, and somehow… putting on a show anyway.

Annie Raczko* (Playwright/Director/Lyricist/Annie)
Annie is a multi-hyphenate theatre maker (actor/playwright/director/lyricist/improviser) and a member of Actor’s Equity. She regularly performs Off-Broadway, near Broadway, and in her living room. When she's not performing on Thursdays at The Magnet Theater with Spicy Dilemma, she's also making musical improv with Hell Yeah!, Dun Dun, and Sotto Voce. And when she's not improvising, she's writing songs and plays rooted in the belief that there are no mistakes - only discoveries. A longtime collaborator with The Chain Theatre, Annie is grateful to this company for giving her a safe space to not play it safe, and she is a better artist because of it.
