what is free pile?
Free Pile Productions is a multimedia art collective in the Connecticut River Valley, Massachusetts. We work together to create DIY performance art that smashes together each of our skills in writing, acting, instrumentalism, painting, drawing, puppetry, production, clowning, stagecraft, and assemblage. We're playing off each other to create joyful and accessible performances for everyone; art out of nothing.
