Labyrinth Theater Company (Artistic Director Mimi O’Donnell, Managing Director Danny Feldman), the award-winning, downtown ensemble, announced its Fall 2013 season.
Opening the 2013-14 season in September is a new series of Artist Salons, offering intimate glimpses into the lives and work of Labyrinth’s multi-talented Company Members. Through informal performances and revealing conversations, each evening will stand alone as an opportunity for one artist to engage an audience on a uniquely personal level. The fall salons will focus on spoken word actor and playwright Craig ‘muMs’ Grant (September 9 & 10), two-time Tony Award nominee Daphne Rubin-Vega (September 16 & 17), and playwright David Bar Katz (September 23 & 24) Spring salons will be announced at a later date. Tickets to all salons will be available to the public for $10.
Beginning October 1, Eric Bogosian will read and perform selections from his new book, 100, which features one hundred monologues originally performed as part of his six Off-Broadway solo shows. The selections, which will change nightly, will include monologues from Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, Pounding Nails in the Floor with my Forehead, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, and others. For these solo shows, which were originally performed Off-Broadway between 1980 and 2000, Bogosian was awarded three Obie Awards and a Drama Desk Award — earning him living icon-status in the downtown theater scene.
Sunset Baby, a new play by Dominique Morisseau, begins November 6. An energized, vibrant look at the point where the personal and political collide, Sunset Baby tells the story of a former black revolutionary and political prisoner who decides to connect with his estranged daughter. He quickly discovers that fatherhood might be the most challenging revolution of all.
Labyrinth will present a third main stage production in Spring of 2014. In addition, Labyrinth will present two full festivals of play readings to their audiences: the 15th Annual Barn Series (Winter 2014), the annual festival of brand new plays and Pulitzer Fest (Spring 2014), a week-long festival of symposiums and readings of Pulitzer Prize-winning plays performed by Labyrinth Company Members.
