LAB: STRIPPED

Show Info

LAByrinth Theater Company presents LAB: STRIPPED, two week runs of staged works in progress. More than a reading, but not quite a production, STRIPPED keeps the focus on the script with minimal technical elements. 

House of Blue Robes
By Seth Zvi Rosenfeld
Directed by Brian Roff
March 7 - 16

Hell’s Kitchen, 1985. Roommates Ralph Ramirez, an actor, and Schlomo D., an aspiring rapper, are struggling to break through as artists. Ralph is torn between his love for Marisol and his father’s old-world ideas, while Schlomo’s own tortuous relationship with girlfriend Maylin Chang has brought his life to a standstill. When Ralph meets Florence, a transplant from Naples, their connection sets a series of events in motion, to devastating effect for all.

House of Blue Robes is a complex and funny journey of race, friendship, love, and fidelity.

Recurring
By Madeline Barr
Directed by John Gould Rubin
March 21 - 30

Recurring is a gripping, cinematically vivid drama that graphically unveils how a deep and horrific history insinuates itself into a woman’s present and future. Through fragmented memories propelled by sharp suspense, acid humor, and a gripping magical realism, we’re spun through a dizzying array of events—from adulthood to girlhood, back and forth—culminating in a visceral confrontation with the horrifying truth of what she endured.
