Rock WILK, playwright and performer, is combing the city for fifty survivors of gun violence who are willing to share their stories with the general public. This search is the root for the campaign, '50ShotIn10Days', coinciding with the performances of his new play, Brooklyn Quartet, which deals with many subjects, including race, privilege, relationships, and the Sean Bell shooting by the NYPD on November 25, 2006.

8 Million Protagonists, a first of its kind Off-Broadway production, will run at 9th Space Theatre from November 1 to November 10. The show is a crowdsourced play with its plot driven by the online submissions at newyorkwritesitself.com from everyday New Yorkers, capturing the real, uncensored streets of New York.
