New York, NY Labyrinth Theater Company (Artistic Director Mimi O’Donnell, Managing Director Danny Feldman), the award-winning, downtown ensemble, announced today that tickets are now available for 100 (Monologues) written by and featuring Eric Bogosian.

“Innovative, provocative, daring. These are just a few of the words that describe Eric’s rich body of work as a writer and performer. Labyrinth is, and will always be, an artistic home for Eric, and this production is another chance for us to explore and celebrate everything that makes his voice an undeniable force in the theatre,” said Artistic Director Mimi O’Donnell. “100 (Monologues) will give audiences a front row seat to his life, work, and legacy.”

Beginning October 1, Eric Bogosian will read and perform selections from his new book, 100, which features one hundred monologues originally performed as part of his six Off-Broadway solo shows. The selections, which will change nightly, will include monologues from Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, Pounding Nails in the Floor with my Forehead, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, and others.
