NEW: Trinity Rep's A Christmas Carol Will Be Performed This Year at PPAC

Trinity Repertory Company announced Thursday that it will stage its 48th annual production of A Christmas Carol at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC).

The show will run from November 23 to December 29, 20224. 

“Trinity Rep’s Chace Theater, where we have historically staged A Christmas Carol, will be under much-needed construction for a full renovation,”  said Trinity Rep’s Executive Director Katie Liberman. “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.”

According to Trinity Rep, its upstairs theater, the Chace Theater, has not been completely refurbished since Trinity Rep first moved into the space in 1972. 

The new and improved performance venue will boast an innovative, reconfigurable theater space, an LED-equipped lighting grid, new seats, and significant upgrades that will transform the experience for audiences and artists alike, says Trinity, with construction expected to begin as soon as October 2024 as part of a larger renovation of Trinity Rep.

“We are making history! PPAC’s partnership with Trinity Rep is the first of its kind in Rhode Island, and it will likely introduce new audiences to our theater and this beloved production," said J.L. “Lynn” Singleton, PPAC’s president and CEO. "We are looking forward to celebrating the holidays with Trinity Rep this year.”

A Christmas Carol runs November 23 – December 4, followed by a brief hiatus to make room for the national tour of Hamilton. A Christmas Carol returns to PPAC on December 26 and closes December 29.
