GEORGE LIBERATO EXPANDS DUTIES!
TEXAS NATIVE GEORGE LIBERATO
EXPANDS PHILANTHROPIC DUTIES
JOINS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF OFF-BROADWAY’S
LABYRINTH THEATER COMPANY
New York, NY (May 23, 2008) – LAByrinth Theater Company (John Ortiz, Artistic Director; Philip Seymour Hoffman, Co-Artistic Director; John Gould Rubin, Co-Artistic Director & Executive Director) proudly announces the addition of Galveston native George Liberato to the Board of Directors, effective immediately. He joins LAByrinth Theater Company's prestigious Board Members, who include Academy Award-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman (LAB co-Artistic Director, actor/director), studio executive Colin Callendar (President, HBO Films), Broadway producer Margo Lion (Angels in America, Hairspray, Caroline, or Change), actor John Ortiz (LAB Artistic Director, American Gangster), and film producer Frank Vitolo (Just Add Water, Music Within).
Galveston Islander, George Liberato, brings his philanthropic expertise to one of Off-Broadway thriving theater companies, now in residence at The Public Theater in New York City. A graduate of the University of Southern Arkansas, with a Masters from Texas A&M, he has served as president of the Galveston Board of Realtors, on the State of Texas Political Action Committee, and on the Board of Directors for the Strand Street Theater in Galveston. He is a Texas Real Estate Broker and Land Developer.
In his accepting his newly assigned position, Mr. Liberato had this to say, “It is an honor to be named to the Board of Directors of LAByrinth Theater Company. Over the last 16 years, LAByrinth has forged its own theatrical, cultural revolution at the forefront of the New York stage, creating works of tremendous value from the fierce talents and energy of its company members. I’m delighted to support them in their vision for the future, knowing that they will continue to have a unique ability to define the cutting edge of American drama.”
In welcoming Mr. Liberato into the LAByrinth family, John Gould Rubin, co-artistic director of the LAByrinth Theater Company, had this to share, "LAByrinth Theater Company has always seen itself as comprised of New Yorkers, presenting plays by and about New Yorkers and, by extension, for New Yorkers. It has been with great delight that we discovered that George Liberato, a Texan from Galveston, would find such a strong emotional connection to our work and our company. Perhaps this proves that the entire world is comprised of New Yorkers. Or, perhaps, that the theater we create is more universal than we had thought.” He went on to add, “No, we think the likelier explanation is that George is a rare individual, full of curiosity and vitality, eager to pursue daring, risky and confrontational adventures in life as well as in the arts. He feels like one of us and we are happy to embrace him into our community."
LAByrinth Theater Company was founded in 1992 by a group of actors who wanted to push their artistic limits, hone their craft, and create new plays that truly reflected their heritage and experience. Today, LAByrinth is comprised of more than 100 established and emerging theater artists from a wide array of cultural perspectives. The inclusive, multicultural ensemble encourages all members to write, act, direct, and design, and supports multidisciplinary growth and exploration in the creation of daring new work that celebrates the diversity of its New York City home.
Now in its sixteenth season, the award-winning LAByrinth has developed hundreds of new plays and staged 50 productions including The Little Flower of East Orange and UNCONDITIONAL (2008), A View from 151st Street and Jack Goes Boating (2007), A Small, Melodramatic Story and School of The Americas (2006), The Last Days of Judas Iscariot (2005), Sailor’s Song and Guinea Pig Solo (2004), Dutch Heart of Man and Dirty Story (2003), Our Lady of 121st Street (2002), Where’s My Money? (2001), Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train (2000), and In Arabia, We’d All Be Kings (1999).

BROADWAY BY THE YEAR!
DIRECTED BY EMILY SKINNER,
STARRING JEFF McCARTHY, TERRI KLAUSNER, NOAH RACEY, AND MORE
MONDAY, JUNE 16 AT 8PM
The Town Hall is pleased to present the final production of its 2007-2008 Broadway by the Year series with Broadway by the Year 1979 on Monday, June 16th at 8PM says Executive and Artistic Director Lawrence Zucker. Broadway By The Year is created, written and hosted by Scott Siegel for The Town Hall, now in it's 8th season.
After the first three sold-out concerts, Broadway by the Year continues its year of unparalleled entertainment with this last show of the season. Broadway by the Year 1979 is directed by Emily Skinner and choreographed by Noah Racey, who both star in the show. Terri Klausner and Jeff McCarthy also share the bill, in addition to many other stars that are soon to be announced.
The Broadway by the Year concerts have become, in the words of Variety critic Robert L. Daniels, "a proverbial hot ticket." Scott Siegel, the writer and host of The Town Hall program, takes the audience on a musical travelogue, exploring the history of the Great White Way and showcasing the beloved hits and lesser-known gems from yesteryear, starring today's great Broadway talent.
The evening will feature excerpts from the Broadway shows of 1979 including Evita Sweeney Todd, They're Playing Our Song, I Remember Mama, The Grand Tour, Sarava, AND MORE. It will also reunite two stars from the cult favorite musical Side Show: Emily Skinner and Jeff McCarthy (Chicago/Urinetown). In addition, Terry Klausner will remind audiences why she was hired to play Eva Peron twice a week in the original cast of Evita.
Built in 1921 by a group of suffragettes, The Town Hall began as a lecture hall and public forum for debates. Over the decades, Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Sanger, Billie Holiday, Igor Stravinsky, Bob Dylan and Miles Davis have graced the stage. Today the hall flourishes as a popular, affordable venue, boasting the hottest acts in rock, pop, folk, cabaret, world music, comedy and dance, including Billy Joel, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Natalie Merchant, Graham Nash, Liza Minnelli, Cyndi Lauper, Norah Jones, Andre Watts, Henry Rollins, Joe Jackson, Pink Martini, Regina Spector, Brian Adams, Aimee Mann and Dawn Upshaw. For over a decade, The Town Hall has hosted live broadcasts of Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion. Over the past two-and-a-half decades, The Town Hall has produced a number of new and critically acclaimed musical series, which include The Century of Change, Not Just Jazz, Broadway by the Year® and The Broadway Cabaret Festival.
Scott Siegel has created two acclaimed and popular series for The Town Hall: the critically acclaimed Broadway By the Year, now in its eighth season, and the Broadway Cabaret Festival. Mr. Siegel also conceived and produces both Broadway Unplugged and The Nightlife Awards at The Town Hall, and is currently in his tenth year as host of The Town Hall Feature Film Series. Scott and his wife Barbara are authors (47 books, including The Encyclopedia of Hollywood) and critics ("The Siegel Column" and "The Two of Clubs").
Tickets are $50 & $45 and are on sale now through TicketMaster, 212-307-4100, www.ticketmaster.com, The Town Hall Box Office between noon and 6 PM (except Sundays) at 123 West 43rd Street, 212-840-2824. For more information: www.the-townhall-nyc.org.
