Upcoming Events America Too, New Play Development, Write Here

This spring, Trinity Rep will bring together the elements of Context & Conversation (our public discussion series typically centered around themes in our mainstage work) with our America Too initiative (our annual staged reading of work devised from actual stories from our community). American Too began with Trinity Rep’s participation in the Every 28 Hours Plays in 2015, a theatrical response to the events in Ferguson, Missouri. In addition to the community’s relationship to policing and racism, America Too events have also looked at immigration, housing, and health care. The culminating event of America Too each year has been a staged reading of short or full-length plays that illuminate the topic, followed by a robust audience discussion, free and open to the public. America Too: Reckoning and Resilience will begin in January with the first in a series of monthly, hour-long discussion programs online, anchored by Michelle Cruz, Christina Bevilacqua, and Joe Wilson, Jr. For more information and to register to attend, visit trinityrep.com/americatoo2021.

New England high school students are invited to submit ten-minute plays to our Write Here! Write Now! student playwriting competition. The competition is free to enter and winners will have their plays performed during the Write Here! Write Now! festival in the spring and receive free tickets for their school to a future Project Discovery student matinee performance. Submitted scripts are adjudicated through a blind evaluation process by Trinity Rep education, artistic, and literary staff. Each year, four winners are selected with at least one winner from a Providence, RI high school. Resources including a Study Guide are available for teachers or students to help them prepare. For more information, visit trinityrep. com/whwn. Above is a photo from the staged reading of a 2018 winning script.

Brown/Trinity Rep MFA students will be showcasing their work in April with an online presentation. Eddie DeHais ’21 will direct Fear No More, a new adaptation of Shakespeare’s Cymbeline featuring third-year acting students. For details, visit trinityrep.com/mfashows.

Get an inside look at the creation of several new plays as we open a window into the process this winter and spring with a new online series, The Writer’s Room. Each of the plays featured in this series is at a different stage in its development and each playwright takes a different approach to writing and workshopping their work. The lineup of plays and playwrights is currently being finalized but you can expect to get an early look at Don Quixote, which will be the next Teatro en El Verano production with director and creator Marcel Mascaró and the cast of the show. You may also see the work of Orlando Hernández, who will be working on his adaptation of Marta V. Martínez’s oral history project, Nuestras Raices, for the stage. Other projects will be added as we progress through the spring. Check out trinityrep.com/newplays for more information.

Trinity Rep’s classes for adults and kids in grades K-12 offer the chance to stretch creative muscles, make connections with peers, and explore theater from an entirely new angle. Adult classes include play reading and discussion groups and an introduction to acting. Kids will explore the tools of an actor — using their voices, body, teamwork, and imagination.
