WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Quirky, touching and laugh-out-loud funny, Fall is the story of a young girl's passage through adolescence. A fourteen-year-old obsessed with scuba diving, Lydia is stuck going to a swing dancing summer camp - with her mom and dad. As her parents try to Lindy some romance back into their marriage, Lydia begins a surprising flirtation of her own. Beautifully told against the rhythms of great music from the heyday of swing, the show touches a warm, familiar chord, drawing a whimsical yet moving portrait of Lydia's rite of passage. Written by Brown University graduate Bridget Carpenter, one of the most promising playwrights in the country, this production was one of the highlights of the 1999 Providence New Play Festival. This show is directed by Neal Baron.
Special Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 2pm on June 7, June 17 and June 21.

In Fall, Bridget Carpenter's new award-winning play, the story revolves around 14-year-old Lydia. Dragged off to summer swing-dance camp by her parents, Jill and Dog, she not only has to suffer the sight of her progenitors having fun, but also be deprived of the first three days of ninth grade, which she asserts will hobble her socially for her entire high school career. Her one escape from this awkward and embarrassing world is scuba diving, where, alone in the immensity of the ocean, she can become visible and indivisible, free of obligations and the messiness of ambiguity.
While at camp all manner of things happen--sex, an attempted suicide, a mother and child reunion, a lesson on how [...]
