Leviathan Lab Presents Adventures Of A Faux Designer Handbag A Workshop Of A New Play By Christine Toy Johnson, Directed By Victor Lirio

New York, NY, August 6, 2010 – Leviathan Lab culminates its in-house workshop of Christine Toy Johnson’s Adventures Of A Faux Designer Handbag with a free invited reading and talkback, directed by Diverse City Theater Company Artistic Director Victor Lirio, on Monday, August 9th at 7:30pm at Center Stage NY, 48 W21st St, 4th Floor, between 5th and 6th Avenues, NYC.

Adventures Of A Faux Designer Handbag  is an original stage play by actor/playwright/filmmaker Christine Toy Johnson. As three friends frantically try to find a replacement for a priceless special edition handbag, they are catapulted through space and time from the maze of Chinatown, New York, to the Splendid China theme park in Orlando, Florida, where they learn if authenticity is really in the eye of the beholder.

Leviathan Lab, founded by Ariel Estrada, has been home to more than 80 Asian American actors, writers, and directors since 2009. This invited reading and talkback features Leviathan Lab actors Judy W. Chen, Nancy Eng, Ali Ewoldt, Jaygee Macapugay, Kurt Uy and Moses Villarama*.
