A major disaster in Manhattan has everyone on the island looking for high ground. For Danny’s family and friends, that higher ground happens to be her one-bedroom apartment in Inwood. As the world outside goes to pieces, Danny tries to keep the peace among the assorted characters gathered in her space. They might make it through this crisis, if they can manage to survive each other.
The playwright of The Glass Piano returns to The Lab with a comedy about the end of the world - one of the hits of our 2021 New Plays for the New Year virtual reading series!

A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere
Previews: April 6 & 7, 2023

Original music, artistic puppetry, and magical realism allow this bilingual tale to tackle the immigration crisis through a beautiful, unique lens. Chronicling the harrowing journey of one young Honduran girl as she crosses the US border into the inhospitable, barren land of Texas, Refuge is an exploration of empathy and of America – who we are and who we say we are.
After joining us for the 2020 New Play Festival, this incredible play with music finally returns to The Lab. Working in conjunction with our partner companies across the country (Curious Theatre in Denver, CO & Unicorn Theatre in Kansas City, MO), we are thrilled to complete our season of world premieres with the final installment of this National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere!

Blue, A Rhapsody in Blubber written & performed by Lynn McNutt
A Workshop Production
May 5-14, 2023
Directed by Erika Batdorf
The seemingly unconnected stories of a baby blue whale searching for its mother, a middle-aged woman struggling with the burdens of caregiving, and an elderly man on his own for the first time in his life become intertwined and, ultimately, united.
This interactive solo theatrical piece submerges the audience into a provocative and humorous journey through grief, solitude, spirituality, connection, and healing. BLUE resonates with the universal pulse we all share, and inspires us to communicate clearly from our hearts to bridge large distances with others.
A 25-year veteran of traditional theatre, FAU Associate Professor, Lynn McNutt is swimming in new territory for her second act, creating & performing original works that entertain and connect. Be among the very first to see this dynamic new work take shape in this first ever workshop production. Be brave and sit in the “Splash Zone”!
Sundays at 3pm
Tickets: $25
