"José wrote the play for specific members of LAByrinth Theatre Company," explained LAB co-artistic director John Ortiz in a release. "Due to scheduling conflicts, we are postponing our production of Massacre with a view toward doing it next season."

No plans have yet been set for a replacement production, according to a LAB spokesperson.
