Review: WICKED at Providence Performing Arts Center


by Andria Tieman - March 06, 2026

One could be forgiven for feeling a little burned out on Wicked these days.  After two super-sized movies and a press tour that seemed to last a decade, Wicked-mania feels a bit on the wane.  However, there is no substitute for seeing this show live on stage.  This show is more relevant than ever...

Review: Trinity Rep's THE WINTER'S TALE Delivers Flashes of Pure Theater


by John McDaid - March 02, 2026

Midway through Trinity Repertory Company’s production of The Winter’s Tale, a handful of courtiers gather scattered objects from the stage — a painter’s palette, a bodhrán, a pair of tambourines — and begin, slowly, to move together. For a moment you can’t quite decipher what you’re s...

Review: The Roommate at Trinity Rep


by Andria Tieman - February 04, 2026

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.  The Odd Couple + The Golden Girls seems like the obvious sources of inspiration here, b...
