A themed event, this year’s showdown will have a “Gladiators” through-line, suggesting at least one spectacular miming of “Russell Crowe” in store for attendees. Hoffman, a Labyrinth original founding member, is known for being a dangerously skilled charader, though eyewitnesses report Cannavale has been gaining on him in recent years.
Labyrinth Theater Company (Stephen Adly Guirgis, Mimi O’Donnell, Yul Vázquez, Artistic Directors; Danny Feldman, Managing Director) has been a leader in groundbreaking ensemble theater since its inception in 1992.
