Moisés Kaufman said, "Bringing Seven Deadly Sins to New York has been one of the highlights of my career. This is testament to theater's ability to survive and thrive. I have the most profound sense of love and respect to this team of writers, designers, cast, and crew who have made this production a magical experience."

Gigi Pritzker, Founder and Producer at Madison Wells Live, said, "We owe our deepest thanks to our partners Jared Epstein, Aurora Capital, William Gottlieb Real Estate, TF Cornerstone, the Meatpacking District BID, and the New York City Department of Transportation. This has been a terrific example of the power of public-private partnerships that make a city more vibrant. When arts organizations, the business community, and city government come together to make a space where artists can create, everybody wins. The shared vision of bringing live performance back to New York has allowed 123 arts workers to once again make live theater."

The cast of Seven Deadly Sins features a diverse troupe of leading New York theater actors and exciting new comers including Tricia Alexandro (Perp at the Barrow Group), Shuga Cain (S11 of "Ru Paul's Drag Race"), Shavanna Calder (HBO's "Los Espookys"), nationally ranked pole dancer and movement artist Donna Carnow, Shamika Cotton (HBO's "The Wire"), Brandon J. Ellis (Bandstand), Brad Fleischer (LCT's Golden Boy), Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Newsies), Kahyun Kim (STARZ's "American Gods"), Morgan McGhee (Ain't Too Proud), Bianca Norwood (New York stage debut), Caitlin O'Connell (The Crucible), Cody Sloan (Off-Broadway debut), and Eric Ulloa (On Your Feet).

This brand-new production, under the direction of Moisés Kaufman, features a titillating collection of keenly observed works from the country's most provocative playwrights. These writers have each selected one of the Deadly Sins as the inspiration for their short play: Ngozi Anyanwu (Gluttony), Thomas Bradshaw (Sloth), MJ Kaufman (Pride), Moisés Kaufman (Greed), Jeffrey LaHoste (Envy), Ming Peiffer (Wrath), and Bess Wohl (Lust).

Tell Me Everything You Know (inspired by Gluttony) by Ngozi Anyanwu

Two women in a garden (Shavanna Calder and Morgan McGhee). One knows everything, the other hungry to know anything. Tell Me Everything You Know is a lesson in curiosity, information overload, and generally just minding your own damn business.


Hard (inspired by Sloth) by Thomas Bradshaw

Viagra is just about the only thing Jeff (Brandon J. Ellis) isn't consuming these days. His and his wife's (Shamika Cotton) sex life is going through a dry spell thanks to Jeff's commitment to video games and not much else, but tonight she won't take no for an answer.

Wild Pride (inspired by Pride) by MJ Kaufman

Not all advice is good advice... Wild Pride follows a trans YouTube influencer's (Cody Sloan) quest to give his followers (Bianca Norwood) the confidence he thinks they need...no matter the cost.

Watch (inspired by Greed) by Moisés Kaufman

Two siblings (Tricia Alexandro, Eric Ulloa), one inheritance. Things get dirty even when they're not the ones digging the grave six feet under.

Naples (inspired by Envy) by Jeffrey LaHoste

In the Palace of Versailles, Princess Charlotte (Caitlin O'Connell) discovers a secret that might bring ruin to her husband's young lover, Philippe (Andrew Keenan-Bolger). Will she protect him or throw him to the lions? A love triangle with only two sides can be very unstable. But who will prevail when their envy gets the best of them?

Longhorn (inspired by Wrath) by Ming Peiffer

What sins will you confess when pushed to the limit? A professional dominatrix (Kahyun Kim) whips her newest client (Brad Fleischer) into shape (literally and figuratively) as she discovers his questionable beliefs.

Lust by Bess Wohl

An exotic dancer (Donna Carnow) takes to the pole, business as usual, but when her worst nightmare walks in, it's not just her clothes that get stripped away.

Seven Deadly Sins takes audiences on a tantalizing tour of their inner demons. No subject is taboo as audiences rotate through seven uniquely designed storefronts, exploring the depths of desire, jealousy, rage, and more in a thrilling evening that merges live theater with performance art, dazzling design, and CDC-mandated regulations. Helmed by Moisés Kaufman and Tony Award®-winning scenic designer David Rockwell, Seven Deadly Sins is a carnival for the senses, welcoming New Yorkers back to live entertainment.

In a format that was conceived by Michel Hausmann and originally produced by Miami New Drama, audiences will gather and be welcomed with a brief performance by Shuga Cain at their first stop of the evening, Purgatory. They will then depart on their journey as they divide into small, socially distanced pods, safely exploring the perils and pleasures of each sin's storefront window. Sanitized headphones will be provided, or audience members can bring their own standard jack, hardwired headphones if preferred.

The design team is led by David Rockwell (scenic and environmental design), Dede Ayite (costume design), Yuki Link (lighting design), Tyler Kieffer (sound design), X Casting / Victor Vazquez CSA (casting director), and Amy Marie Seidel (dramaturg). Additional set design for Greed by Christopher & Justin Swader.

Seven Deadly Sins is produced by Tectonic Theater Project and Madison Wells Live, in association with Miami New Drama. The production is presented in partnership with the Meatpacking Business Improvement District and made possible by the support of real estate partners Aurora Capital and William Gottlieb Real Estate.
