Show Info

LAB: STRIPPED
The Complicated
By Cusi Cram
Directed by Dina Janis

With Elizabeth Canavan, Jacqueline Guillén, Jason Manuel Olazábal, and Gil Perez-Abraham Jr.

New for LAByrinth’s 31st season, the company presents LAB: STRIPPED, two-week runs of staged works in progress. More than a reading, but not quite a production, STRIPPED keeps the focus on the script with minimal technical elements.

The Complicated is a dark comedy about an eccentric, cultural-melting-pot of a family struggling to survive New York in the 1980s. It is a wild ode to folks from mixed backgrounds who were raised by wolves, single mothers, teachers, god brothers, and their own killer instincts.
