Under the supervision of Philip Himberg, Producing Artistic Director, and Associate Director Christopher Hibma, the Lab is the centerpiece of the Theatre Program’s year-round work and is designed to support emerging and established artists and to create a place where their original work can be effectively mentored and challenged. “The Theatre Lab allows each playwright to explore and follow his or her vision – wherever it takes them,” said Himberg. “Compelling plays are born when the pressures of production are not yet exerted on a final product. The 2012 Lab community represents an incredible diversity of that vision, and the acting company that will support and inform that work is extraordinary.” Participants include: Acting Company Roberta Lucila Colindrez (LAByrinth Theater Member), Liza Colon-Zayas (LAByrinth Theater Member), Patch Darragh (Our Town-Broadway), Keith David (Platoon, Jelly’s Last Jam-Broadway), André De Shields (Ain’t Misbehavin’-Broadway, The Full Monty-Broadway), Raúl Esparza (Leap of Faith), Nathan Lee Graham (The Wild Party-Broadway, Wig Out!), Korey Jackson, Georgi James (Billy Elliot-Broadway, Little Miss Sunshine The Musical), Cherry Jones (Doubt-Broadway, Mrs.
