PROVIDENCE, RI (September 23, 2022) – Wilbury Theatre Group presents the World Premiere of Silhouette of a Silhouette by Rhode Island icon Rose Weaver and directed by Don Mays – September 30 through October 16. For tickets and more information,

Based by Weaver’s life, with threads of magical realism, Silhouette of a Silhouette is a story of redemption and hope inspired by loss, and told through music, song, and scenes – the story of a family struck by tragedy, and how to pick up the pieces up and move forward.
“This is a semi-autobiographical story reveals how my late brother saw the devil while hallucinating in the woods of Georgia,” Rose Weaver explains. “He seeks redemption for his poor life choices. Told through humor, rousing songs, spoken word, and southern mythology, Silhouette is a mini saga of a family’s painful struggle out of cycles of self-destruction and an attempt at deliverance.”
“Rose Weaver is one of our state’s most treasured artists and it’s always a joy to work with her – especially on this personal story,” said Josh Short, Artistic Director of Wilbury Theatre Group.
“Rose has been part of sharing so many stories with the people of Rhode Island for decades, and it’s a privilege for us to kick off the Wilbury Group’s 12th season by sharing hers.”
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can. For tickets and more information about the production and Wilbury Theatre Group, visit
