After beginning performances June 22, the New York City premiere of Seven Deadly Sins officially opens June 29.

The theatrical experience, which debuted in Miami, features works from seven playwrights, each exploring one of the cardinal vices—Ngozi Anyanwu writing a piece centered on gluttony, Thomas Bradshaw taking on sloth, MJ Kaufman pride, Moisés Kaufman greed, Jeffrey LaHoste envy, Ming Peiffer wrath, and Bess Wohl lust.

The show takes audiences through a series of staged storefront windows in NYC's Meatpacking District to experience seven short plays performed behind glass and heard through provided disposable earbuds. A pre-show bar named Purgatory opens 30 minutes prior to curtain for each performance and serves as the official starting point for audiences.
