Paging Inspector Clouseau If you are like Phillipe and Jorge — or most residents of the Biggest Little — you consider the star of the 38 Studios debacle, Curt Schilling, to be a flatulent, bloviating, self-absorbed moron with the business acumen of a chimpanzee. (Our apologies to chimps everywhere.) But the fat fraud got it […]
Ocean State Theatre Company’s opening night performance of Little Women: The Musical, provoked both laughter and tears. Director Ethan Paulini has crafted a funny, powerful and moving production of Louisa May Alcott’s semi-autobiographical novel. He wonderfully captures the highs and lows of the March sisters during the Civil War while their father is away serving […]

In this case, the rose was not Juliet, but rather, her Romeo, who happened to be portrayed by an actress named Victoria.

Providence’s ever-challenging OUT LOUD Theatre spent last year exploring the public domain, with material such as Dracula and Shakespeare’s Coriolanus free to use, develop and interpret at will.
