Hoffman joined the LAByrinth Theater Company in 1995 and was its Co-Artistic Director for over 10 years before stepping down. As an actor, his theater credits include a limited run in "Othello," adapted and directed by Peter Sellars, performed in Vienna and New York; LAByrinth's production of "Jack Goes Boating" (The Public Theater), "Long Day's Journey Into Night" (Broadway), "The Seagull" (The Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival), "True West" (Broadway), "Defying Gravity" (American Place Theatre), "The Merchant of Venice" (directed by Peter Sellars), "Shopping and F*cking" (New York Theatre Workshop) and "The Author's Voice" (Drama Department).

Hoffman's celebrated New York production of "Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train" was presented at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it won the Fringe First Award, and London's Donmar Warehouse, where it was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Play. It then moved on to London's West End for an extended run at The Arts Theatre.
