Twenty years after they began releasing records as the INDIGO GIRLS, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have politely declined the opportunity to slow down with age. With a legacy of releases and countless U.S. and international tours behind them, the INDIGO GIRLS have forged their own way in the music business. The Grammy award-winning duo previously performed with the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra in 2015 to critical acclaim. The Providence Journal wrote, “THE INDIGO GIRLS – [Emily] Saliers and Amy Ray – have the unusual ability to maintain distinctive musical personalities in the context of a tightly-knit duo…. Together, though, their voices blend beautifully.”

PPAC Board of Directors and staff members held a going away party for our Office Manager, Rosemary SienkoKoehler on September 12. Rosemary is retiring after 33 years at the Theatre; she and her husband, Richard, are relocating to Florida, but truly, she is the one bringing the sunshine to that state.
Rosemary has unfailingly greeted everyone – Board and staff members, patrons, visitors, vendors, and more – with a great smile, a kind word, and a willingness to quickly assist in any situation. She has managed many tasks with patience and hard work; her dedication was recognized with a R.O.S.E. Award from the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau (PWCVB). Rosemary expressed her thanks and appreciation to all and said she could not believe how the time has flown! Neither can we. So here’s to you, Rosemary – enjoy your new home and adventures to come! We’ll remember these years together fondly and look forward to seeing you again. It’s not good-bye, but just “so long” for now. - PJP

Joseph W. Walsh, Esq., Chairman of PPAC’s Board of Directors, announced at a press conference held in the Alderman’s Chambers of Providence City Hall that PPAC has been awarded a $120,000 grant from Disney to bring Disney Musicals in Schools to Providence. Disney Musicals in Schools is a free initiative developed by Disney Theatrical Productions to create sustainable theater programs in under-resourced elementary schools. The grant funds two years of programming; the Providence Performing Arts Center will select five area public elementary schools to participate in the 2019 - 2020 academic year, and another five will be selected for the next academic year.
The selected schools will participate in a 17-week musical theater residency, led a team of teaching artists trained by PPAC and Disney Theatrical Group, at no cost. Each school will receive performance rights, education support materials, and guidance from the teaching artists. The program features a professional development focus, through which participating school teachers partner with PPAC’s teaching artists to learn how to produce, direct, choreograph and music direct, culminating in their first 30-minute Disney KIDS musical at their school. As capstone to the experience, the Theatre will host a Student Share Celebration in which each school performs one number from their show on the PPAC stage for an audience of students, teachers, family, and community members.
