In its inaugural year, the 4 Flights Up Fest is a series of 4 new plays developed and presented at Access Theater. The aim of the festival is to foster a collaborative and inclusive environment to aid in the development of new work by bold and experimental playwrights and directors.

This year the 4 Flights Up Fest will present Kaela Mei-Shing Garvin's hilarious Sense and the City, which subverts and exaggerates rom-com conventions while staying true to the genre's somewhat silly spirit; Steph Del Rosso's biting You're Crazy (a play with karaoke), a play about female friendship and gas-lighting, young girls and Cool Girls, sexuality and rage; T. Adamson's The Straights, a scorcher of a queer road trip play through the heart and heartlessness of America; and York Walker's C o v e n a n t, a psychological thriller based on the myth of blues musician Robert Johnson.
