  • 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.

  • To Our Guest Directors, Designers and Stage Managers
    To our guest directors, designers and stage managers, Welcome! We are delighted that you have chosen to be a part of our 31st Season. We are looking forward to a year full of new challenges, rewards, and friendships. We hope to make your time with us enjoyable and productive, and to this end we have provided you with this informational packet. Please take the time to browse the packet and learn a bit about us. Included in your handbook are production calendar(s), contacts (as current) for your production’s artistic team, information about the shops and the design deadlines, and much more. Please take the time to review our prelim and final design deadline materials requirements. Please contact the production office, or the respective production department head(s) for the most current drawings, inventories and information as this info is updated more often than our handbook. We will all have to work hard to realize your vision within a tight and conservative financial structure. We have had to cut back after our 30th Anniversary season with it’s $1 million dollar supplemental gift to budgets that are more reflective of the new normal of these leaner times. Last season our average show budget was over $160,000. This year the average is less than $100,000. Please consider yourself forewarned that we want your help. We need you to adhere to design deadlines, return those phone calls and emails as soon as you can, in order that we get the most bang for the buck. Sometimes we start a little early in order make the best use of our labor resources.
