Leonard now extended through Sunday, March 9, 2008.

Opening night remains as scheduled for Monday, February 18, 2008 at 7:00 p.m.
UNCONDITIONAL by Brett C. Leonard is a new play, in which nine New York stories converge in a racially and sexually charged tale of love, justice, rage and betrayal. Mr. Leonard was honored earlier this week with the 2008 Creative Spirit Award. The creative team includes Mark Wendland (Set), Mimi O'Donnell (Costumes), Japhy Weideman (Lighting), and Bart Fasbender (Sound).
The production's scenic design will transform the LuEsther Hall at The Public, where
UNCONDITIONAL will be staged in the round, allowing LAByrinth to offer tiered pricing for the first time. Regular seating, at both ends of the stage, is priced at $50, with Gallery seating on raised platforms at either side of the stage available at $35. Single tickets are now on sale and available online at LABtheater.org or by phone at (212) 967-7555. Tickets can also be purchased in person at The Public Theater Box Office (425 Lafayette Street, hours Sunday and Monday from 1.00pm to 6.00pm, and Tuesday through Saturday from 1.00pm to 7.30pm).
The performance schedule for
