Cha-Ching: The Prince of Providence to Return to Trinity Rep in 2021

Following the near sold-out run of The Prince of Providence this past fall, Trinity Rep will revive the play about Buddy Cianci in summer 2021 in the smaller 250-seat Dowling Theater. 

Details, schedule, and cast will be announced at a later date.

Trinity Rep closed The Prince of Providence on October 27 of this year, after an extended seven-week run. The play was written by George Brant, based on the New York Times bestseller of the same name by Mike Stanton, and was directed by Taibi Magar. It covered the rise and fall of Providence’s former mayor, Vincent A. “Buddy” Cianci.

According to Trinity, when tickets went on sale on August 10, Trinity Rep experienced its highest-ever single day sales – breaking a record that was set just two weeks prior when tickets for this year’s annual production of A Christmas Carol became available. Based on anticipated demand, the original run of performance dates included eleven more performances than a typical Trinity Rep production in the Dowling Theater. Based on the demand in the first week that tickets were available, however, the company added eight more performances, extending the run by one week – the maximum allowed by its schedule and commitments to other productions. In addition, interest in this production helped drive a 24% increase in the number of subscribers to the season as a whole.
