Labyrinth's THE MUSCLES IN OUR TOES by Stephen Belber Opens Tonight

Labyrinth Theater Company, the award-winning, downtown ensemble, presents the New York Premiere of The Muscles in Our Toes by Labyrinth Company Member Stephen Belber, directed by Anne Kauffman. The play celebrates its official opening tonight, June 26, 2014, at Labyrinth's home in New York City's West Village, the Bank Street Theater (155 Bank Street).

The complete cast of The Muscles in Our Toes includes Amir Arison, Jeanine Serralles, Bill Dawes, Samuel Ray Gates, Matthew Maher, and Mather Zickel.

In this dark comedy, four friends meet at their high school reunion, and ponder a plan to free their old friend who's been kidnapped by a radical political group. Absurdity, intensity and plain ole weirdness ensue when this inebriated, stoned, adolescently arrested, religiously confused group of friends attempts to tackle the task at hand and at the same time, debate the forces of international terrorism.

The design team for The Muscles in Our Toes includes 2014 Tony Award nominee Japhy Weideman (Lighting Design), Lee Savage (Set Design), Emily Rebholz (Costume Design), and Jessica Paz (Sound Design).

Labyrinth Theater Company is devoted to providing affordable ticket prices for the community. We are pleased to announce that tickets for The Muscles in Our Toes are $20 when purchased on or before June 25. After that date, tickets prices will be available starting at $35. Tickets are available online at labtheater.org or by calling (212)513-1080. More information is available at http://labtheater.org/the-muscles-in-our-toes/.
