LAByrinth's Jack Goes Boating Opens Sunday 3/18

LAByrinth Theater Company's (Co-Artistic Directors Philip Seymour Hoffman and John Ortiz and Executive Director Steve Asher) world premiere production of JACK GOES BOATING, a new play by Bob Glaudini, will open officially this Sunday, March 18th at Martinson Hall at the Public Theater (425 Lafayette Street).  

It was recently announced that the show will extend by popular demand through Sunday, April 29th.  The production was originally scheduled to play through April 8th.

Laced with cooking classes, swimming lessons and a smorgasbord of illegal drugs, JACK GOES BOATING is a story of date panic, marital meltdown, betrayal and the prevailing grace of the human spirit.
