About this Event

On Saturday November 13, 2021, starting at 11 AM and running till 4 PM, LAB Theater Project will be holding auditions for our first full show of 2022, SOUP by David Zarko, and our annual fundraising comedic short play festival, LAB Laughs.

Production Dates: LAB Laughs, Jan 20-23, 2022, SOUP Feb 24 thru Mar 13, 2022

About SOUP: Alan, an intellectual property rights attorney slugging it out for a corporate master, brings his 86 year old mother home from a clinic where she was given strict orders to stay off her fractured foot. Alan and Fran, along with best friends Isabel and Ignacio agree Fran will need home care. Isabel, always the mover and the shaper, calls her friend Felicity, a woman of Puerto Rican heritage, as a candidate to help Fran. Fran and Felicity hit it off, but when it comes out that Felicity is homeless and rumored to have had a history of drugs, sex, and alcohol, opinions heat up and what seemed a simple solution becomes a quandary. Fran discovers that Felicity was the original soup cook at what used to be Fran's favorite café; consequently, Fran decides to stick by Felicity despite the furor. She contrives to leave her and Alan together on a mother's instinct that Alan's softer side will come out if he and Felicity get to know one another, that he may find he can help her in some meaningful way. Their conversation reveals that she had been cheated out of keeping her soup recipes when the café was sold to a chain, and the play ends with Alan's beginning to collect information for an intellectual property suit.
