The Laboratory Theater is a group that continually takes artistic risks to present culturally-significant, and sometimes outrageous, plays that titillate the imagination as much as they teach. The teaching theater company is now entering a new, exciting chapter of its adventure. To fulfill long-term goals of theatrical education and more extensive programming, the Lab Theater is setting up shop in an exciting interim space at the corner of 2nd Street and Woodford in downtown Fort Myers while also working on building its own theater at Seaboard Junction.
