The Teller

Stage Management by Alex Maynard; Projections by Adam O'Brien; Design by Jacqueline Frole.

Synopsis
The Teller is a story about telling stories. It is also a series of fantastical tales about greedy kings, vengeful pigs, murderous horses and a sad but brilliant goose. It is NOT secretly about the author, or his fear that his life is spinning out of control. There will be NO SUBTEXT in this play at all. The story about the beautiful rooster who worries that his life is spinning out of control has been cut. Come prepared for escapist entertainment.

Performances
Thursday February 20, 7:30pm
Friday February 21, 7:30pm
Saturday February 22, 7:30pm

About New Works at The Wilbury Group
Founded in response to the clear need for an artists and new works development program in the city of Providence, the New Works program at The Wilbury Group allows audiences to experience the "birth" of a play. Throughout the rehearsal, workshop, and eventual run of the show, the playwright and director work together to make constant changes in response to audience reactions and feedback.

Encompassing commissions, readings, workshops and full-scale productions, The Wilbury Group's New Works series is meant to nurture and serve the specific needs of a project throughout its evolution, helping qualified artists at all stages of their career take their chosen work to the next level of development. www.thewilburygroup.org/new-works
