LAByrinth Theater Company, the award-winning, downtown ensemble has announced a special addition to its 13th Annual Barn Series of free play readings. The Forest Play, an epic, arboreal adventure for children and adults, written by Lola Glaudini and Kostas Anagnopoulos, will be performed at the Bank Street Theater today, December 15th at 1pm.

Intended for kids 5 to 9 years old, this treeful tale tells the story of a few young friends who lose their way during a journey into the woods behind their house. And as they try to find their way home, they encounter some of the forest's strangest and silliest inhabitants, who teach our heroes a few things about their wild side.
