In addition to their first three productions (POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson-Apt.2B, and A Christmas Carol), the organization joined two other arts groups to successfully lobby for a $10 million Cultural Arts and the Economy Grant Program Bond. As a result, voters allocated $2 million to Trinity Rep for a significant renovation at the Lederer Theater Center, including seating, stage changes, and new office space.
Upcoming productions at the recently self-labeled “State Theater of Rhode Island”, are: Someone Will Remember Us, La Tempestad-The Tempest, and Blues for an Alabama Sky.
