Sit In!
The Sit In! came about as a natural extension from our yearly Seven Devils Playwrights Conference. We offer artists who have worked with us a venue to hear rewrites, polish up old plays or hear their newest work for the first time.
Our NYC Sit In! takes place monthly in the magical and intimate atmosphere of Jimmy’s No. 43 Downstairs - and you’re invited! Seating is limited, but standing room is always available, and frankly, once you’ve sampled one of Jimmy’s delicious locally brewed hand crafted beers and heard what our playwrights are offering, you’ll come even if it means standing on your head!

February 27, 2012 - Flight by Patrick Gabridge
Sarah spends her days in the airport, finding comfort in its organized chaos, forced anonymity, and careful security. Little does she know that beneath its clean and shining façade, the airport - like the world outside it - is littered with lives torn apart by loss. Caught in the crossfire of the airport's lost souls, Sarah discovers there is no such thing as an innocent escape.

March 19, 2012 - Kilgore by Heidi Kraay
Greg was raised by his grandfather Tate. Or maybe it’s the other way around.
Running from yet another one of Tate’s disastrous relationship choices, the two
find themselves suffocating in small-town Texas...that is until Greg falls for Katie,
pushing his dedication to Tate to its limit and forcing all three to face their pasts in
hope for redemption.
