Every winter, Brown University's graduate playwriting program presents the Writing is Live festival of new plays. Dance performances take place in the Ashamu Dance studio and in the Stuart Theatre.
Historic Benefit Street is an appropriate location for the oldest continuously running little theater in the U.S. The Players have been taking the stage every year since 1909 and at the Barker Playhouse since 1932---a pretty good run for an amateur theater group. The actors may not get paid, but performances are nothing short of professional: talent fairly leaps off the stage at the former church built in 1839. Past shows have included everything from Shakespeare to Christmas plays, original works by Providence playwrights to Stephen Sondheim musicals.
A past Tony Award winner for outstanding regional theater company, this troupe presents classic plays, intimate musicals, and new works by young playwrights, as well as an annual version of A Christmas Carol—all in a renovated former vaudeville house. Shows are presented on two separate stages: the 500-seat Elizabeth and Malcolm Chace Theater and the recently-renovated 250-seat Sarah and Joseph Dowling, Jr. Theater.
