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

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.

Recommended for ages 16+ for mature themes.
