LAByrinth is dedicated to developing new
plays through a unique creative process.
Summer Intensive
Each
play LAByrinth produces is first presented at the Company’s annual
Summer Intensive – a concentrated two-week retreat where Company
Members and invited guest artists create brand new material and develop
current works in progress. By surrounding the playwright with talented
and passionate artists, this supportive environment allows freedom of
expression and nurtures creativity.

After the Intensive, selected works move to
the next stage in the creative process and are presented in one of two
public forums in New York City. These public readings give the
playwright and his/her creative team further opportunity to rehearse
and explore the text in front of an audience.

Barn Series Festival
The
Barn Series is a more formal reading series of plays in progress which
are more fully staged and rehearsed. The Barn Series is open free of
charge to the general public and considered part of LAByrinth’s annual
season.
|
Live Nude Plays
Live Nude Plays is an annual, informal reading series where plays in
progress are performed in a casual setting with minimal staging in
front of an invited audience.
|
|
| Works
presented at The Barn Series and Live Nude Plays are considered each
year to become a part of future LAByrinth seasons as fully-staged
productions. |
