Two comedians who aren’t quite the talk of the town yet, and a dancer who is vague about her training, arrive for an audition.

The Pawtucket-based Community Players continued their record-breaking 104th season with the dark humored but stunningly still relevant 'Harold and Maude'.
Jen Silverman’s The Roommate is a tight two-hander about two empty-nesters who move in together due to economic necessity (and other, spoilery reasons), and end up in a situation neither could have predicted.
THT REP'S SHARP, SHIMMERING MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM.
What did our critic think of SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS at Wilbur Theatre Group?
Lauren Gunderson’s fascinating play, ‘anthropology,’ presented by The Players at Barker Playhouse, is foremost a drama with plenty of humor and social commentary that examines the arguable benefits of AI and whether ultimately it does more harm than good.
That loaded question—which speaks volumes—is posed by Mary, the middle sister who has returned home for her mother’s funeral in Shelagh Stephenson’s powerful albeit flawed drama, ‘The Memory of Water,’ now at Burbage Theatre Company.

“A Christmas Carol” at Trinity Repertory Company is as much a Rhode Island holiday tradition as snow, shopping, and Santa.
Daydream Theatre Company presents “The State of Florida Versus Mike Diana,” a compelling, informative, amusing portrait of an artist and his scrutinized work that examines hot button issues like freedom of expression, censorship, and the First Amendment.
The man and woman featured in Gamm Theatre’s marvelous, endearing production of Terrence McNally’s 1982 play, “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune,” are both unmistakably struck by Cupid’s arrow, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re ready or even expected to live happily ever

What did our critic think of HADESTOWN at Providence Performing Art Center?
'The Heidi Chronicles,' now at Reverie Theatre Group, reminded those same women that they don't have to choose between career and family, but to follow their hearts and to do what they believe will make them happy.
