DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

The year is 2003. Providence Place is four years old and shining with promise. Deep within this commercial complex, a group of friends create a secret home away from the prying eyes of mall security and the daylight reminder of things they would rather not think about. But what comes of letting our hurt take up room inside of us? Does every empty space need to be filled? Or sometimes, is it all right to let what is hollow stay hollow? Loosely inspired by a true story, an original musical about art, grief, family, and the most carpeted mall in America.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

We are The Harpies, an independent project collective formed by three artists in the Providence area. As writers and comedians, our work has most often taken the form of improv, sketch, and musical comedy performances, bringing us to venues such as the CTC in Wakefield, Wage House in Pawtucket, the Columbus and Wilbury Theaters in Providence, the Magnet Theater in NYC, and Philly Improv Theater. We have individual experience in various sectors of the performing arts--set design, libretto writing, stand-up, and dramatic production, just to name a few--and we are thrilled to now be collaborating on One Providence Place.
