Celebrating the holidays together
Everyone’s favorite curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge, is back! The humbug’s wrenching, covetous, and cares more for money than all else. When the clock strikes midnight one fateful Christmas Eve, the ghost of Scrooge’s old pal Marley pays a much overdue visit. Through a supernatural journey, Scrooge must confront the past, acknowledge the present, and define the future for the good of the community –and Scrooge’s very soul. A timeless holiday tale of redemption and joy, Trinity Rep’s reimagined production of A Christmas Carol has been a beloved New England family tradition for over 45 years.
Someone Will Remember Us

Reflecting on the ripples of conflict
In 2006, Trinity Rep told the true, poignant stories of Rhode Islanders deployed in Iraq with the play Boots on the Ground. Nearly 20 years later, how does this legacy live on … and what have we forgotten? Someone Will Remember Us interlaces the real-life testimonies of U.S. military veterans, Iraqi civilians, a Gold Star family, and refugees living in New England. As military conflict wages on multiple fronts across the world, this production paints a moving portrait of the innumerable tolls of war, and how we find connection through it all.
La Tempestad — The Tempest
By William Shakespeare
Translated and adapted by Orlando Hernández with Tatyana-Marie Carlo and Leandro “Kufa” Castro
Directed by Christie Vela
March 27 – April 27, 2025
Decolonizing Shakespeare’s “brave new world”
Shakespeare’s familiar story of magic, betrayal, comedy, and love is told through a compelling mix of The Bard’s classic English, translated Spanish dialogue, and projected subtitles so you can understand it all. La Tempestad — The Tempest purposefully weaves two languages to deconstruct the colonialist narratives, all while retaining the shipwreck, romance, magic, and fantasy that make Shakespeare’s final play so beloved. Originally presented in 2018 as a touring Teatro en El Verano production, La Tempestad is the first to transfer to Trinity Rep’s main stage!
Blues for an Alabama Sky
By Pearl Cleage
Directed by Jackie Davis
May 29 – June 29, 2025
Sacrifice and dreams in the Jazz Age
As the creative revolution of the Harlem Renaissance bleeds into the hardships of the Great Depression, four New York friends strive to achieve their dreams. But when Alabama migrant Leland Cunningham sets his eyes on the troubled blues singer Angel, their lives are changed forever. This intimate drama questions where the personal ends and the political begins, probes the intersection of life and art, and asks how we find meaning and direction in the most tumultuous of times.
