LAByrinth Theater Brings INTRINGULIS To LA 11/9-12/8

LAByrinth Theater Company ventures west for their first production in Los Angeles, Carlo Albán's Intringulis. The play, created through LAB's unique development process, begins performances on November 9 at the Lillian Theatre and will run a strictly limited engagement of eleven performances only through December 8.

Child actor Carlo Albán was a normal American kid and a regular on Sesame Street, but in private he and his family struggled with their immigration status. The solo show weaves together music, language and culture, as Carlo tells the story of his family's move from Ecuador to the United States.

LAByrinth will be presenting Intringulis in repertory with the Elephant Theatre Company's west coast premiere production of The Little Flower of East Orange at the Lillian Theatre. Both shows are part of the recently announced partnership between the two ensemble-based theatre companies.

The Intringulis running schedule is as follows: Tuesday 11/9 (opening night), Weds 11/10, Thurs 11/11, Weds 11/17, Thurs 11/18, Tues 11/23, Weds 11/24, Weds 12/1, Thurs 12/2, Tues 12/7 and Weds 12/8. All performances begin at 8pm. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by visiting www.labtheater.org. THE MEDIA IS INVITED AND ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND THE OPENING NIGHT PERFORMANCE ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9.

The Lillian Theatre is located at 1076 N. Lillian Way (one block west of Vine, just off Santa Monica Boulevard), in Hollywood. Street parking is available.
