2 Best Performing Arts in South County, Rhode Island

Since 1933, directors, choreographers, and performers have been coming from New York City to present a season of summer musicals, concerts, and events (including a children's festival) in an old 500-seat barn theater a quarter mile from the ocean. This is high-quality summer stock. Arrive early for dinner at the bistro on the property and to enjoy the stunning gardens.

This gallery hosts juried arts shows and sponsors the Wickford Art Festival in July. The association's gallery at the North Kingstown Town Beach stages exhibitions by local artists and association members and offers painting classes.
