Hangin with Satan-
What if What Religion Has Taught Us is
Wrong?
By Reynaldo Rivera
The Play
Jimmy, a wanna be tough
kid from alphabet city is in Tompkins Square park waiting for his girlfriend,
Jennifer. But upon meeting her, awkwardly, Jennifer cancels their plans
because a friend is in the hospital and needs her urgently. Jennifer then quickly
runs off. Overhearing this is a confident looking young man, who tells Jimmy
that Jennifer is lying and is actually about to hook up with a co-worker.
Confused and angered by what the man has said, Jimmy lunges towards him but
quickly finds himself powerless. The stranger turns out to be Satan, who begins
an exhibition of his powers and knowledge of mankind to convince
Jimmy to accept his true path in life and take over as Satan's successor.
