Located in downtown Providence, Trinity Rep has long been a driving force behind the creativity that fuels and defines the region. From its roots in Providence’s Trinity United Methodist Church, Trinity Rep moved in 1973 to its present home, the Lederer Theater Center in downtown Providence. Built in 1917 and formerly known as the Majestic Theater, the historic building now houses two performance spaces: the Elizabeth and Malcolm Chace Theater (500+ seats) and the Sarah and Joseph Dowling, Jr. Theater (200+ seats.) Employing over 100 artists, educators, and administrators, the organiza- tion generates nearly $12 million in economic activity annually.

NEVER ORDINARY Trinity Rep is committed to reinventing the public square and inspiring dialogue by creating emotionally-stimulating live productions and innova- tive education programs for all ages and abilities. Whether classical or contemporary, all of Trinity Rep’s productions connect audiences with the play in meaningful and sometimes surprising ways. Its annual production of A Christmas Carol is new every year and has brought families together for 40 years. Artistic director since 2006, Curt Columbus has embraced the Trinity Rep aesthetic established by founding Artistic Director Adrian Hall and continued by his successors: Anne Bogart, Richard Jenkins, Oskar Eustis, and Amanda Dehnert. Together, with Executive Director Tom Parrish, Columbus is committed to creating unparalleled theatrical experiences for and with the community.

Skeleton_2017.indd 27 9/11/17 11:53 AM Name Your Seat to Be a Part of Theater History! This summer, Trinity Rep replaced the seats in the Dowling Theater with higher-backed, wider seats that are a wonderful ergonomic upgrade from what you have been sitting in. With this upgrade, we’re offering you a special opportunity to have your name, or the name of a loved one, engraved on a seat plaque in the theater. For just $5,000, payable over up to two years, your plaque will remain for the life of the seat (minimum 15 years). It’s a wonderful way to honor a friend, commemorate a milestone, or let others know what the theater means to you. Plaques may contain up to three lines of text, with up to 20 characters per line (including spaces).

There has been a crisis. It’s far-reaching, and as so often happens in these moments, anxieties rise and our resolve is tested. For some, life must now be compartmentalized. For others, vitriol and spite are all they can see. And for one, memory becomes important. Memory, and the discovery of an acorn on the floor on a fateful day. Following these memories and this acorn to a forest, this person finds what everyone truly craves in a crisis — hope. A poetic play designed to capture our tumultuous era, An Acorn brings us from grief to survival.
