| | PETER AND THE STARCATCHER
November 21 - 24 & December 5 - 8, 2024
J Studio, URI Fine Arts Center
This Tony Award-winning play with music upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan became Peter Pan. Adapted from the novels by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, playwright Rick Elice playfully delivers marauding pirates, jungle tyrants, and unlikely heroes and comrades. In the end, Peter comes to understand the important and lasting bonds of friendship, duty, and love. | Buy Tickets |
| | BAKKHAI
February 27 - March 2, 2025
J Studio, URI Fine Arts Center
A stunning, new translation of Euripides' play by poet and classicist Anne Carson. Carson writes, “Euripides was a playwright of the fifth century BC who reinvented Greek tragedy, setting it on a path that leads straight to reality TV. His plays broke all the rules, upended convention and outraged conservative critics. Bakkhai is his most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration." | Buy Tickets |
| | GUYS AND DOLLS
April 17 - 19 & 23 - 27, 2025
Robert E. Will Theatre, URI Fine Arts Center
Hailed as the perfect musical comedy, this award-winning classic gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of Broadway.
"Count me squarely in the Guys and Dolls camp. If there’s a flaw to be found in the 1950 'musical fable of Broadway,' based on characters created by journalist/short story writer Damon Runyon, it’s not in Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows’ drum-tight book. And it’s certainly not in Frank Loesser’s honey of a score." - New York Stage Review | Buy Tickets |
