LAByrinth Theater Company is a non-profit, Off-Broadway theater company based in New York City. Led by Philip Seymour Hoffman and John Ortiz for many years, its current artistic director is Aaron Weiner. The New York Times described it in 2014 as "an ethnically diverse downtown troupe that has mounted several critically acclaimed new works".
LAByrinth Theater Company was founded in 1992 and was originally begun as Latino Actors Base (LAB) by Gary Perez, John Ortiz, David Deblinger, and Paul Calderón. LAB used the INTAR Theatre, on West 52nd Street. In those early days, the company attracted mainly Latino actors who would perform theatrical exercises together "for three hours each week… given the opportunity and support not only to act, but to write, direct, produce, sweep, paint, hang lights, etcetera." With time, the group adopted the LAByrinth name as it attracted a multi-cultural troupe of performers, builders and trades.
In 2017, Dane Laffrey, Scott Zielinski, and Michael Urie won Obie Awards presented by the American Theatre Wing.
