The production will run September 12 – October 20 and is expected to sell out. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, August 10 at 10:00 am online and in-person at the theater. The play is written by George Brant and is based on the New York Times best-selling book of the same name by Mike Stanton about the highs and lows of the career of former Providence mayor Buddy Cianci. Cianci was twice removed from office because of legal issues. He remains a polarizing figure locally and a well-known political figure nationally, in part because of the podcast Crimetown, which featured his story in its first season. The play will be directed by Obie-Award winning Taibi Magar, a Brown/Trinity alumna who has garnered international attention for her work. In March 2018, Trinity Rep announced that they had obtained the underlying rights to the book The Prince of Providence from Stanton and subsequently commissioned Brant to adapt the book into a play.

  • Providence City Archives Annual Report (FY 2012-2013)
    Providence City Archives Annual Report (FY 2012-2013) The operations of the City Archives during the past twelve months was characterized by accelerating momentum in continuing to carry out the recommendations of the 2010 Council Commission on Archives and in developing new initiatives designed to preserve the materials entrusted to us and develop finding aids to make our collections available to a wide universe of users. Established in 1978, the Division of Archives basic mission is to acquire, preserve, and make available to the public archived municipal records and to supervise the city’s records management program for non-permanent records. The division is currently staffed with an Archivist, Deputy Archivist and an Archival Assistant. The activities of the City Archives for the year are summarized below. Physical Setting Work carried out by the Department of Public Properties on the roof of City Hall seems to have eliminated the major leaks of water into the archives and its storage areas during periodic storms. Prior leaks caused water damage to photo collections stored in the mezzanine area as well as a number of reference books shelved along the archives’ north wall. Despite this improvement, walls along the north, east and south sides of the mezzanine areas (just below the public research area) show evidence of major water penetration over the years with large areas of peeling paint and plaster loss along these walls. The Archivist began working with Public Property on the feasibility of installing a temperature and humidity control system in both the research and vault rooms, however, a new development may make this effort unnecessary.

    AMICUSAMICUS THETHE MAGAZINEMAGAZINE OFOF ROGERROGER WILLIAMSWILLIAMS UNIVERSITYUNIVERSITY SCHOOLSCHOOL OFOF LAWLAW SPRING 2006 A A L S School of Law Admitted Into Association of American Law Schools MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN Friends, I am delighted to report on an important step in the growth and development of our young law school: In January, we were awarded membership in the prestigious Association of American Law Schools (AALS). The membership process was lengthy and rigorous. After a year-long self-study, a team of faculty from around the country pored over our report and then spent the better part of a week on campus last April verifying that the quality of the program we described in fact existed. The team’s favorable conclusions were then vetted by the Membership Review Committee (chaired by the Dean at Missouri) and then the Executive Committee (chaired by the former David A. Logan Dean and Professor of Law Dean at Iowa), both of which were preludes to the final step, a unanimous vote of the AALS House of Representatives. Membership in the AALS is an endorsement of the high quality of a school’s people and programs. Because the AALS is the learned society of legal education, such recognition is especially important to the heart of any professional school – its permanent faculty. So it is only fitting that this issue of Amicus focuses on the many accomplishments of the School of Law faculty. Please read on to learn more about the terrific teacher/scholars who prepare our students for the practice of law and through their work outside the classroom, improve the world.

  • Phillipe & Jorge’
    Phillipe & Jorge’s Cool, Cool World: Andre, Eye Candy and Local Tidbits Giant Steps Phillipe and Jorge’s movie of the week has to be Andre the Giant, now running on HBO stations. Andre Roussimoff was the famously huge French wrestler who became a cult figure and huge draw in the wrestling world (and The Princess Bride) in the 1980s, but who eventually fell victim to the gigantism that saw him reach over 7 feet tall and 400 pounds. Phillipe actually had a chance to interview Andre the Giant when he came to wrestle at the old Rocky Hill Fairgrounds in East Greenwich, a time when P was doing his sports column, “On the Ball and Off the Wall.” This was back before the glitz, light shows, blaring rock music and packed arenas arrived with the WWF and “Wrestlemania,” and even the biggest stars regularly did barnstorming tours to such glamorous sites as Rocky Hill. On this occasion he was headlining along with the legendary Fabulous Moolah, who, while a pioneer in women’s wrestling, had to be in her 40s at the time. But she, like Andre, could put asses in seats. At any rate, in a scene resembling something out of a Marx Brothers movie, P ended up crammed into a single-wide trailer that was like a hothouse along with the massive Andre, Moolah and another wrestler, Pat Patterson, who spent the entire time of P’s interviews with Andre and Moolah bumming cigarettes off of him. But Andre was a gentle giant — pardon the cliché — and was sucking down beers and politely answering questions, until P asked about the matches being scripted, and did he enjoy the theater aspect? At this, Andre glared down at him (and P is 6’3” on his own) and said, “There is nothing funny about wrestling.” This signaled the end of the interview, but Moolah graciously said we could do her interview outside.
