LAB: Stripped

The gritty LAByrinth Theater Company gets down to the skin with short, back-to-back test runs of two dramas, mounted as works-in-progress with miminal technical fuss: Seth Zvi Rosenfeld's House of Blue Robes (Mar 7–16), directed by Brian Roff, in which cultural worlds collide in a Hell's Kitchen apartment in 1985; and Madeline Barr's Recurring (Mar 21–30), directed by John Gould Rubin, a magical-realist portrait of a woman whose life is still shaped by past trauma. (The shows cost $30 apiece, or $40 for both.)
