In this dog-eat-dog world only one rule matters: eat or be eaten...Tickets are now on sale to see two-time Tony nominee and Rent icon Daphne Rubin-Vega in Empanada Loca off-Broadway. Written and directed by Aaron Mark, the Labyrinth Theater Company production is making its world premiere at the Bank Street Theater.
Set in modern day New York City, this solo thriller is inspired by true events and the legend of Sweeney Todd. In Empanada Loca, Rubin-Vega stars as Dolores, whose past includes time spent as a drug dealer, masseuse and ex-convict. She’s a survivor and has led a life like no other. Now living deep under Manhattan in an abandoned subway tunnel, she has a story you won’t believe—or ever forget.
Empanada Loca features sets by David Meyer, lights by Bradley King and sound by Ryan Rumery. The production will run through November 8.
