About This Show
INTAR New Works Lab Series is a developmental program created in 1995, dedicated to the support of emerging playwrights, directors, actors and other artists from the Latino community in a theatrical context. The NewWorks Lab provides an environment where new work can evolve without the pressure of outside critical standards. The yearly public presentations allow artists to experience a live audience, which helps further develop their work.

I’m With Mauricio: Daniel Zelazko’s short play uses a children’s game as a visual metaphor for adult relationships, and an ensemble of three actors (and a dog) explore what it is like to coexist in our competitive contemporary world. Directed by Jose Zayas.
Gray Sun: What would make someone lonely enough to take on a 450-pound Siberian tiger as their best friend? Self help groups — why so many lately? And, can we possibly put our cell phones down for one New York minute? Solo performer Nilaja Sun (Black and Blue, Mixtures, Due to the tragic events of…) tackles the idea of our compulsive loneliness. Louis Moreno directs.
