Abingdon Theatre Complex Presents LEBENSRAUM

The Harold Clurman Laboratory Theater Company presents "Lebensraum" by Israel Horovitz from October 29 to November 20 at the June Havoc Theatre in the Abingdon Theatre Complex. The wildly imaginative play is directed by Don K. Williams and stars Aidan Koehler, Adam Gerber and Mickey Ryan - three actors from the Harold Clurman Laboratory Theater Company who together play 50 different characters throughout the performance.

"What I saw on stage was beyond thrilling," said Israel Horovitz, American playwright and screenwriter, when he saw the Harold Clurman Laboratory Theater Company's performance. "I have seen dozens upon dozens of productions of 'Lebensraum' in dozens of languages around the globe. It is among the very best I have ever seen."

"'Lebensraum' unites my two loves," said Tom Oppenheim, President and Artistic Director of the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, which produced the play. "It is a great work of art that challenges us to examine the way we live our own lives; through it we are confronted with difficult moral questions; Lebensraum has the potential to change us."

The Harold Clurman Laboratory Theater Company is Stella Adler Studio of Acting's professional theater company. "Lebensraum" marks the first Off-Broadway production for the studio in its sixty-two year history. Stella Adler Studio of Acting is one of the world's most famous acting institutions. The school has trained actors such as Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro, and Benicio del Toro.

Established in 1949 by Stella Adler, the Stella Adler Studio of Acting was founded upon Adler's belief in the supreme seriousness of her art, and has, for the last five decades, enriched every part of the American theater and film arts. Adler's philosophies kept many well-known members of the theater coming back for her intelligent and passionate advice and the school has since trained many of the brilliant actors of our time, including Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro, Elaine Stritch, Benicio del Toro and Salma Hayek. The Stella Adler Studio of Acting is a nonprofit organization, which trains over 500 actors annually and also presents world-class lectures, poetry readings, jazz, classical music, theater, and dance theater events. www.stellaadler.com
