KTC presents seven original works by PlayLab, their professional playwriting lab. LAb Works runs August 10th to September 16th at the Skylight Theatre Complex. Start with 'an appetizing and farcical look at film festivals or check out what happens when a focus group goes awry. Then voyage with a thief traveling back in time to deliver guns to Harriet Tubman, or dine with a Filipino household forced to cope with the family baggage. Anyway you look at it - PlayFest 2012 is juicy!'

Buck Henry, Lisa Loomer, Boni Alvarez, Dan Duling, Mary Edith Burrell, Elena Minor, Jan Munroe, Robyn Peterson, Rob Sullivan, and Stephanie Waxman contribute writings to this unique event. They will compose 15-minute-or-less plays, that will be performed in readings by a company of professional actor/celebrities, and guests from the Downtown Women's Center.
