Hard Times Hurt LAByrinth-Public Theater Partnership

NYTimes.com: "One of New York’s most fruitful recent theatrical collaborations has been between the LAByrinth Theater Company and the Public Theater, with the Public housing and helping to produce LAByrinth shows like “Jack Goes Boating” (starring Philip Seymour Hoffman) and “The Last Days of Judas Iscariot” (with Sam Rockwell and Eric Bogosian).
But with LAByrinth’s last major show at the Public, “The Little Flower of East Orange” in 2008, costing about $600,000 to mount, LAByrinth leaders concluded that the partnership had become financially unsustainable and decided to leave the Public and return to their roots with smaller-scale productions at another downtown space."
