For six years, Granville, New Hampshire has lived in psychological and physical terror of one of its citizens, a mysterious, nearly omniscient man named Joe. Seven ordinary people stage a revolt and murder the man who has murdered their town… or do they?  MASSACRE (Sing to Your Children) is a new play about fear from the OBIE Award-winning author of Marisol and References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot.

The cast includes Julian Acosta, Elizabeth Canavan, Ron Cephas Jones, Florencia Lozano, Adrian Martinez, Jason Manuel Olazábal, Matt Saldívar and Sona Tatoyan.

In addition to Whoriskey, the MASSACRE (Sing to Your Children) creative team includes Cameron Anderson (Scenic Design), Mattie Ullrich (Costume Design), Jason Lyons (Lighting Design) and David Meschter (Sound Design and Composer).

LAByrinth was founded in 1992 when thirteen actors joined forces to form a place to work.  The idea was to create a home where the group, for three hours each week, could engage in a variety of theatrical exercises designed to push each others' limits and bind together into a tightly knit, uninhibited and impassioned ensemble - one in which each member is given the opportunity and support not only to act, but to write, direct, produce, sweep, paint, hang lights, etcetera.  The fact that the company now consists of 92 members from a wide array of cultural perspectives did not occur through some political design.  It grew out of a shared artistic sensibility and a desire to create personal work that reflects the community in which the company lives: New York City.   LAByrinth Theater Company has produced 38 new American plays including The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Our Lady of 121st Street, Jesus Hopped The 'A' Train, and In Arabia, We'd All Be Kings by Stephen Adly Guirgis; Guinea Pig Solo by Brett C. Leonard; Dutch Heart of Man by Robert Glaudini; The Trail of Her Inner Thigh by Erin Cressida Wilson; Stopless by David Deblinger; Dreaming in Tongues by the LAByrinth Ensemble; Cutting Open Wings by Lidia Ramirez; Queen Latina and Her Power Posse Versus The Evils of Society (a musical comic book for the stage) by David Anzuelo; and Sailor's Song, Where's My Money, A Winter Party, and Dirty Story by John Patrick Shanley.
