HARRY & THE THIEF
by Sigrid Gilmer
Directed by Krissy Vanderwarker
for Pavement Group
In a very different America, plans are underway to conquer the future by changing the past – and Mimi has only one chance to get it right. In this on-stage action movie meets time travel comedy, a thief is blackmailed into going back in time to deliver a cache of arms to Harriet Tubman and change the course of history. Steeped in fast-paced irreverence, Harry & the Thief takes an absurd look at America’s collective history and throws a pie in its face.
