Welcome to The LAB’s incubator! New work is bubbling up and the chemistry is cooking...
In the EAT MY SHORTS laboratory, four versatile performers tag team multiple scripts and characters in a showcase of staged readings – everything from short one-acts to experimental ideas to snippets of plays in development. A beaker of this, a test tube of that, throw in a few drops of whatever, and the stage is set for your front row seat in the operating theatre of what’s in the works. (*protective goggles and hazmat gear optional)
New works by The LAB’s Co-Artistic Directors, Daniel Neer and Ted Gorodetzky –
featuring Neena Boyle, Ted Gorodetzky*, William R. McHattie, and Daniel Neer*
