The Tank's Flint & Tinder series presents the world premiere of
PROVIDENCE, RI by Skylar Fox and Simon Henriques produced by Nightdrive, in association with Fortress Productions
There’s this town. All these people live there. There are all these places they live in. And eat at. And avoid. And die in. It’s the kind of town you hear about and think: “I should take a trip up there. For the fall colors.” But you never do. Tonight is all about this town. And its people. And their places. There are also giant squirrels in this town, and memorial dances, and a set of quintuplets mysteriously separated at birth—but we’ll get to them later. Providence, RI explores how people build towns, how towns build memories, and how those memories build new people and towns altogether.
