Brown Box Theatre Project to Present LAB RATS

Brown Box Theatre Project is pleased to announce their world premiere production of Boston playwright Patrick Gabridge's new play: Lab Rats. Lab Rats is a sharply comic love story that poignantly examines the raw connection between two damaged humans as they struggle to redefine what it means to escape. Brown Box Theatre Project is excited to continue their relationship with their Boston and Delmarva audiences by producing at Atlantic Wharf in Boston followed by a tour to Salisbury and Ocean City, Maryland. The show will run from November 6 through November 15 in Boston, and November 19 through November 23 in Maryland.

Characters Mika and Jake earn a slim living as test subjects in medical experiments. When their waiting room banter deepens into a real relationship, these drifting twenty-somethings must navigate a treacherous maze of emotion, trust, and survival as their carefully monitored and medicated lives bleed into their true selves.

Patrick Gabridge has written numerous plays, including Distant Neighbors, Fire on Earth, Flight, Constant State of Panic, Blinders, and Reading the Mind of God, which have been staged by theatres across the country. Gabridge has just released his third novel: Steering to Freedom: From Slave to Civil War Hero. He has been a playwriting fellow with the Huntington and New Rep, and is a current member of Boston's Rhombus Playwrights writers' group and the Dramatists Guild. Gabridge serves on the board of StageSource and the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund.

Brown Box Theatre Project's mission is to bring high-quality theatre to communities that otherwise lack access to the performing arts. The constant goal in all their programming is to bring down barriers that separate potential audiences from live theatre and to introduce the performing arts to the widest audience possible.
