This performance is a part of The Writers Block 2018, Staged Reading and Performance Series. Created to showcase the vision of contemporary writers, performers, and artists, many of whom got their start in the nightclubs, seminal performance spaces, and theaters associated with the EV/LES, the festival showcases some of the most important playwrights and performers in theater today. New works in progress are presented at this intimate, ultimate downtown theatrical event. Writers Block 2018 will occur throughout the year with a series of short plays and one-acts over several days, and blocks of full-length evenings.

The festival is a benefit for the Howl! Emergency Life Project (Howl! HELP), providing emergency financial assistance and social service support to artists who have made or continue to make their careers in New Yorks East Village and Lower East Side arts communities. 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Actors Fund.
