A Triad Stage Production:

Providence Gap

An Appalachian Saga by Preston Lane with original music by Laurelyn Dossett

Some guys have all the luck.

In the tradition of Brother Wolf, Beautiful Star and Bloody Blackbeard comes a new play blending magic, myth and music. Chance Presnell is lucky. Abandoned at birth, he is rescued by a stranger. He meets his wife by accident. And coincidence saves his only child. But luck can change. As war calls him to Europe and an old jealousy splits his family apart, fate twists and his fortunes change. From a farm in the Blue Ridge to a mill village in the Piedmont, from the trenches of World War I to the Mexican border, Chance must take his destiny into his own hands as he searches for a place where all that is lost can once again be found.

Triad Stage will present Providence Gap as a staged reading at An Appalachian Summer Festival, then develop it into a fully-staged production that will premiere at the company's home theatre in Greensboro in July 2010.

This is Triad Stage's third season performing at An Appalachian Summer Festival, each time under the direction of the company's Artistic Director Preston Lane, who also serves as the festival's Artistic Director for Theatre Programming.

This is a free performance.
