RULE OF 7x7 is an ongoing series that premieres 7 new short plays by 7 writers. For each round of 7x7, each writer devises a rule (such as "Rihanna must be mentioned" or "a back-handed compliment on page two”) & then each writer creates a new short play incorporating ALL 7 rules. Each round of 7x7 features a different set of writers, creative teams, rules & plays. Running for 7 years at The Tank, RULE OF 7x7 is a NEW YORK TIMES, PLAYBILL and TIME OUT NEW YORK highlight for quality content!
