Providence Gap
The World Premiere of an Appalachian Saga
written and directed by Preston Lane
original music by Laurelyn Dossett
June 6 – July 4, 2010
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.
“The productions distinguish Triad Stage as a leading creator of regionally inspired, regionally relevant musical theater.”
