7-Eleven is open 24/7 right? But soon theatre co. Desipina & Company will be closing its NYC show on immigration - Seven.11 Convenience.
The series includes seven short plays, eleven minutes each, set in the well-known American convenience store. Immigrant stereotypes, specifically those of convenience store employees, and the hardships of immigrant assimilation are at the center of the forward-thinking series.
Desipinia uses theatre and film to encourage understanding of difference. The Company’s mission focuses on predominantly Asian-American issues within the New York City community; such problems include race relations and socioeconomic status.
If you’re in NYC, see it before it goes until June 28th:
