Pith! is Steward Lemoine’s award winning, innovative, hilarious and ultimately moving tribute to the power of the imagination. In Providence, Rhode Island in 1931 an itinerant sailor leads a grieving society widow and her stoic housekeeper on an exhilarating and treacherous journey into the heart of the South American jungle…without ever taking them out of the living room.
First produced in 1997 by Lemoine’s celebrated company Theatro La Quindicina. Pith! is Teatro’s most well-travelled production having performed on stage across Canada and in New York City; winning the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival’s Award for Overall Excellence in Playwriting.
