Trinity Rep and PPAC announce collaboration for production of ‘A Christmas Carol’
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Trinity Repertory Company announced that it will stage its 48th annual production of A Christmas Carol at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC).
The performances will run from November 23 to December 4, followed by a brief hiatus to make room for the national tour of Hamilton.
A Christmas Carol will return to PPAC on December 26 and close December 29.
Resident company member Tatyana-Marie Carlo (La Broa’ (Broad Street), The Inferior Sex) will direct this year’s production.
“This play is always a fan favorite at Trinity Rep, bringing generations of families together to celebrate the timeless magic of Dickens’ story,” said Carlo in a statement.
“This year, we have the unique opportunity to share it with Trinity Rep and PPAC audiences alike. The historic venue provides an enchanting backdrop, and I am excited to share this wonderful Christmas story with everyone,” he said.
Tickets for A Christmas Carol go on sale to Trinity Rep subscribers on July 29, to PPAC subscribers on August 5, and to the public on August 19.
In a release, Trinity Rep said the new and improved performance venue upstairs, Chase Theater, will boast an innovative, reconfigurable theater space.
The LED-equipped lighting grid, new seats, and significant upgrades will transform the experience for audiences and artists alike, stated the release.
Expected to begin as soon as October 2024, this construction is part of a larger renovation of Trinity Rep.
“Trinity Rep’s Chace Theater, where we have historically staged A Christmas Carol, will be under much-needed construction for a full renovation,” Trinity Rep’s Executive Director Katie Liberman said in a statement.
“I am so grateful to our colleagues and friends at PPAC who have welcomed us to their venue just a few blocks away to ensure our holiday tradition can continue this winter. We cannot wait to partner with our neighbors at The Providence Performing Arts Center for this season’s production of A Christmas Carol,” she continued.
Tickets will be available at the PPAC Box Office by phone at (401) 421-2787, and online at ppacri.org.
