LAByrinth Theater Company (Artistic Director, John Ortiz; co-Artistic Director, Philip Seymour Hoffman; co-Artistic & Executive Director, John Gould Rubin) announces its forthcoming SALON benefit, with Toni Morrison and Peter Sellars, on Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 7:15 p.m. in The Frieda & Roy Furman Gallery at The Film Society of Lincoln Center (165 West 65th Street). The LAByrinth fund-raiser is hosted by Jennifer Chambers, Michael & Marlene Fine, Mara Manus, and Marianne & Steve Mills, and the evening includes supper & cocktails.
The Public Theater (Artistic Director Oskar Eustis; Executive Director Andrew D. Hamingson) is pleased to announce the 2009 Public LAB season line-up, featuring new works by Darrell Dennis, Ra?l Castillo, Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman, and Suzan-Lori Parks. Public LAB's second season, which began with the LAByrinth Theater Company's production of Philip Roth in Khartoum by David Bar Katz in December, will continue on February 20 with the U.S. premiere of Tales of an Urban Indian, a result of The Public Theater's Native Theater Initiative. The Public LAB season will also include the world premiere of Knives and Other Sharp Objects, the New York premiere of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, and a world premiere by The Public Theater's Master Writer Chair Suzan-Lori Parks. Tickets, priced at $10, go on-sale on Friday, January 30.
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation supported Public LAB with one of the largest grants ever received by The Public Theater. It will be used, in part, to allow audiences to see these important new plays for only $10, cheaper than the price of a movie ticket. Building on the success of the inaugural Public LAB season, the 2009 performance schedule has been expanded from 19 performances to 27 performances for each show.
Public LAB is an annual series of new plays that lets New Yorkers see more of the work they love from The Public and LAByrinth Theater Company in stripped-down productions. Public LAB allows The Public Theater to support more artists, and gives audiences immediate access to new plays in development.
