Priscilla Carrion is an amazing person. Among *many* things she was a crucial and joyful collaborator on last spring's project "She Died for Our Convenience." We're glad to help create space for her to heal her body so she can get back to making dreams come true. We hope you join us in this support.

We are surrounded by ghosts. We hear their stories through the objects, buildings, and traditions they’ve left behind. She Died for Our Convenience was a one-night-only choral haunting concerning the women who worked from 1898-1960 in the textile mill at the Earnscliffe Woolen Mill/Paragon Worsted Co. on Manton Ave in the Olneyville neighborhood in Providence, RI.
On the evening of May 4, 2019 we encountered a large community chorus, led by Chrissy Wolpert, singing melodies dedicated to the women at the very place they labored. We endeavored to sing the songs to unsung labor, while remembering that we are all but tomorrow’s ghosts.
Wanna hear something beautiful? Check this taste of She Died for Our Convenience rehearsal from last night.
See you May 4 at the Earnscliffe Woolen-Paragon Worsted Company Mill Complex. Emily Shapiro, Andy Russ, Jed Brainerd, Priscilla Carrion, Clara Weishahn, and Conductor/Composer (not-on-fb) Chrissy Wolpert, and Rebecca Noon will all be there.
