Hallie Riddick is a theater artist and songwriter from Louisville, KY based in New York. Hallie’s work uses song, ritual, movement, text, and magic to find the putrid in the pretty and release femmehood from the restraints of romanticism. In response to her childhood spent in Louisville, Kentucky, her work often revolves around the sounds of Bluegrass and folk and lives in rural communities in the American South. Flush, Hallie’s an original play with music, recently premiered at her Alma Mater, Sarah Lawrence College. The play centers on the lives of four girls who escape to the woods to rid themselves of grief through spells and prayer.
Hallie Riddick is one half of the country folk music duo, Raising Daughters, started in 2020 alongside her collaborator, Josette Axne. They recently released their debut album, GET HOME, in October 2021. In addition to her music, Hallie is developing her new play, Krissy Anne, that follows a mother and daughter facing the evils of an abusive boyfriend and the haunting song spells of a troupe of troll girls. Hallie is an alum of Sarah Lawrence College, The Moscow Art Theatre School, and The National Theater Institute’s Advanced Directing Program.
