Trinity Repertory Company is founded on and committed to the fundamental principles by which live theater has played such a vigorous role in western civilization. Theater creates community simply by presenting a shared experience in real time. Theater teaches us compassion. Theater tells us the stories of who we are and how we came to be. Theater interrogates that which we take for granted. Theater demands that we see, hear and talk to each other. Theater is the common ground by which we define, challenge and renegotiate our social contract.

Description:
Trinity Rep produces exceptional dramatic experiences, and related programs, created by, for and about our host community. The foundation of our work is made up of three related commitments: our Resident Company of artists and actors, community service and outreach, and theater and arts education.

History:
Since its founding in 1963, Trinity Repertory Company has been one of the most respected regional theaters in the country. Featuring the last long-standing permanent resident acting company in America, Trinity Rep presents a balance of world premiere, contemporary, and classic works for an estimated annual audience of nearly 160,000. In its 44-year history, the theater has produced 54 world premieres, mounted national and international tours, and, through its graduate-level theater arts conservatory, trained hundreds of new actors and directors. This season marks the 42nd year of Project Discovery, Trinity Rep's pioneering educational outreach program. Launched in 1966, the program introduces over 20,000 Rhode Island and Massachusetts students a year to live theater. The Brown University/Trinity Rep Consortium offers professional training for actors and directors is a three-year MFA program. Since 1973, Trinity Rep's home has been the Lederer Theater Center, a historic landmark built as the Majestic Theatre in 1917.
