Performing Arts in Providence

The theater, Oscar Wilde said, is where we go to get a sense of what it means to be human, because nothing matches the power of a live performance. Providence has long packed a wallop when it comes to the breadth and depth of its performing arts scene.

The Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC), built in 1928, is a grand architectural gem offering a full roster of Broadway shows, concerts, comedians and special events. Nearby, The VETS hosts an array of performances, from the Philharmonic and ballet to comedians and family shows. Trinity Rep has fed appetites hungry for the dramatic since its founding in 1963. Featuring both local and national talent, Trinity Rep offers classics, world premieres and everything in between during each thoughtfully-crafted season.
