SIN, a mystical comedy, based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's short story "The Unseen," adapted by Mark Altman, has closed off-Broadway suddenly, after opening on March 17, 2010. This world premiere production, which played at the Baruch Performing Arts Center's Rose Nagelberg Theatre  was directed by Kent Paul. Previews began Tuesday, March 9th.

Based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's short story, The Unseen, Mark Altman brings the devil, demons and infidelity center stage in SIN, a new comedy that pits a happily married couple against the devil himself. On Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, the devil and his demons descend on the tiny town of Frampol. Satan has chosen this most solemn of occasions to test the faith of a happily married couple and in the process ruins their lives. It's a devilish look at two love triangles, one human and one heavenly.

The cast featured Marilyn Chris, Paul Collins, Jessiee Datino, Pierre Epstein, Sarah Grace Wilson and Grant James Varjas. Sets are by Michael Locher with lights by Matthew McCarthy; and costumes by China Lee. Mark Stuart served as the associate director. Robert Rees composed music for the show.
