Past TRC Productions
TRINITY REPERTORY COMPANY 201 Washington Street, Providence, RI 02903 PAST PRODUCTIONS Counting seasons: In the official count of seasons (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), it may have been decided in 1970 to not count 1963-64 as the first season. Or a mistake in a brochure may have never been caught until it was much too late. Subscription brochures for the 1969-70 Season and 1970-71 Season both refer to the upcoming season as the 7th Season. Brochures for the 1967-68 and 1968-69 Seasons refer to them respectively as the 5th and 6th Seasons, but a brochure for the 1965-66 Season refers to that as the “second full season.” During the 1963-64 Season, Trinity Players on the Square was not a fully professional company and there were no actual performances in 1963. 1964-65 was the first full season with Adrian Hall as artistic director and Equity contracts. The counting of the seasons proceeded consecutively from the second 7th Season. *World Premiere Production **American Premiere Production ***Pre-Season Productions + Booked-In, Rental, or Competition Winner Productions 1963-1964 Season • 1st Director Playwright Designers The Hostage Ira Zuckerman Brendan Behan Sets: Sandra Tilles Costumes: Joyce Anderson Lighting: Thomas J.

I quite literally could not have done this without you. Your mind is an incredible resource of musical theater knowledge, and you always know the right moment to remind me that even if my thesis is as bad as Lin-Manuel Miranda’s was, I still have a chance at winning a Tony some day.

James Vincent Meredith: Yes, yes. Hey, so how was that? Audrey Francis: Before the interview I was really nervous. I was practicing how I was going to talk and not stop, you know, not do all the stupid things that I'm currently doing right now. And then the second she starts talking I'm instantly put at ease, the same way that I am as an actor in her room.
