Lab Theater presents Long Way Go Down

The Stella Adler Studio of Acting's professional theater company, the Harold Clurman Lab Theater, is presenting new work in June. Long Way Go Down by Zayd Dohrn runs from June 12th through June 27th.

Mr. Dohrn is the Studio’s 2009-2010 Playwright-in-Residence. Dohrn (Haymarket) has been hailed by The New York Times as a writer who is gaining the attention of major theaters around the country. Mr. Dohrn is the second annual participant in the Playwright-in-Residence program which focuses on supporting emerging writers.

Long Way Go Down is about a young Mexican couple, trapped at a way station when they can't pay off their debts to the American coyotes who smuggled them across the border. The play explores personal and national borders and boundaries. Directed by Jaime Castañeda, the cast features Sam Encarnacion (Conservatory ’08), Emma Ramos, Robbie Sublett (NYU ’06), Noel Wilson (Faculty).

The Harold Clurman Laboratory Theater Company (or The Lab) is a young and growing professional theater company with a commitment to supporting new work. Stella Adler had a reverence for the written word. So much so that Script Interpretation, a class which focused on the playwright and their intent, was a cornerstone of her technique. In accordance with Stella’s legendary and deep regard for the playwright, the Studio is proud to support and nurture gifted writers like Zayd Dohrn and important plays like Long Way Go Down.
