"THE DEVIL WINKS," subtitled "To Be or Not to Be on Avenue B," takes you on one man's odyssey in Alphabet City in the early 80's, at the time, one of New York City's last refuge for cheap rents and 60's Idealism. The only price for admission was a $.50 cup of coffee and an original idea.

Playwright, director and musician DAVID SIRK began his rock and roll career while still in elementary school in Euclid, Ohio. In the 1980's he studied acting at Total Theatre Lab with CAROLINE THOMAS where he first began developing "THE DEVIL WINKS." He recently starred in the role of Sheldon in the film Drivers Wanted. The first part of David's life was dedicated to gaining experience by getting into and of trouble. Now, in his second incarnation, he is dedicated to using the material gathered in his earlier years for writing, composing, producing and acting on the stage.
