The Tank - one of the leading curators of independent theatre in New York City - will present the world premiere of Piccione's new play, Unaffordably Unhealthy, a one-act drama inspired by true stories about the cost of staying alive in America, and an exploration of the pain and tragedies caused each year by the American health insurance industry.

A portion of proceeds will be donated to Healthcare-NOW!, an organization dedicated to fighting for a national Medicare for All program that will ensure universal health care for every single American citizen.
