“Dark & Stormy Productions has launched its effort to establish a theater venue for younger audiences with "Outside Providence," three one-acts by Rhode Island writer Edward Allan Baker. The troupe hopes shorter works and edgier acting, nontraditional spaces…will do the trick.

Give Dark & Stormy founder Sara Marsh credit. Director Matt Sciple has staged Baker's work in three distinct locations within a rough storefront space in Minneapolis…the affair has a rarefied downtown feel.”

“It's raw, real, and intimate, happening all around you in three separate locations in the space as the audience moves around to follow it…it makes for some pretty amazing, unique theater.”

— Jill Schafer, Cherry and Spoon
