Upcoming Shows

Cold War Choir Practice

By Ro Reddick
Directed by Aileen Wen McGroddy
A co-production with Clubbed Thumb and Page 73
 
A Genre-Defying World Premiere
It's twilight in Ronald Reagan's America and the specter of nuclear war hangs over the country — but rent is still due on the 1st. When a prominent Black conservative brings his mysteriously ill wife home for the holidays, the unplanned reunion sets long simmering tensions within the family to boil — and throws each member into a bizarre maze of Reaganomics, Cold War espionage, capitalist cult predation, and ... choir practice. Featuring original music and set in the mesmerizing ambiance of a retro roller-skating rink, "Cold War Choir Practice" celebrates the lengths we go to for love.

"We are excited to introduce the exceptional voice of Ro Reddick to Trinity Rep's audiences. Her plays are wildly intelligent, wickedly funny, and inherently socio-political. Nominated for The Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, her playwriting presents incredible roles for actors to fill and very human stories for audiences to enjoy." – Curt Columbus, Artistic Director

The Winter's Tale

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Ben Steinfeld
Running in rotating repertory with "The Roommate"
 
An Enchanting Tragicomedy from Shakespeare's Canon
A freewheeling blend of comedy and tragedy, Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" is a journey through jealousy, redemption and second chances. In a fit of unfounded jealousy, King Leontes accuses his wife, Hermione, of infidelity, leading to heart-wrenching consequences. Sixteen years later, a kismet romance blossoms, sparking reconciliation in the most magical of circumstances. The Bard's dynamic play is directed by the co-artistic director of Fiasco Theater. The New York Times dubbed this acclaimed Off-Broadway company, created by Brown/Trinity Rep alumni, as "a force to reckon with in the American Theater."

"Scalding jealousy, hunger for revenge, young love in rapturous bloom, [and] the soul-corroding sorrow of regret ..." – The New York Times

The 2024 Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama, "Primary Trust" is an intimate, offbeat new comedy and a heartwarming story about one man's leap of faith and the friends he makes along the way.
