Wednesday’s Child tells the story of Britt, a white working class Midwesterner. She begins a career on the bottom rung of an industry remade by immigrants whose population growth is fueling that of America, and is coming to understand what it means to be outnumbered. She and her family struggle to navigate a new and confusing terrain in America, frightened that whites seem to be losing their majority status and where demographic anxiety is contributing to many of the social fissures polarizing the US today. Finally, at a crossroads, Britt is faced with adapting or succumbing to the dark forces of violence in reaction to a world that has brought anger, frustration and disenfranchisement.    

LAB Theater Project is a non-profit 501(c)3 production company focused on producing new works in the Tampa Bay Community. Our belief in a "playwright first" focus is resolute and a core value of the company. Along with a focus on developing new works, we also focus on training new theater artists to join our growing community. 

We only produce works from emerging playwrights and develop, through education, new artists (Actors, Directors, Stage Managers, and Designers) for the continued growth of live theater artistry. 

We currently produce four new plays per year, often utilizing students in aspects of the production; thereby, giving students the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned while working side by side with established professionals in the community as well as enriching the collaborative creative process of the playwright.

Our Mandate: 

• Bring the Playwright's vision to life.
• Grow as artists.
• Develop new theater artist: Actors, Directors, Designers, & Stage Managers.
• Build a core of artists who desire a life-long practice of theatrical artistry.
