KTC presents seven original works by PlayLab, their professional playwriting lab.  LAb Works runs August 10th to September 16th at the Skylight Theatre Complex. Start with "an appetizing and farcical look at film festivals or check out what happens when a focus group goes awry. Then voyage with a thief traveling back in time to deliver guns to Harriet Tubman, or dine with a Filipino household forced to cope with the family baggage. Anyway you look at it – PlayFest 2012 is juicy!"
