It’s not too late to catch a show by Brown/Trinity Playwrights Rep
Looking for something cool to do on a steamy summer night? The Brown/Trinity Playwrights Repertory Theatre is busy putting on three different plays through August 2 in the Stuart Theatre on campus.
The Playwrights Rep is an ensemble of young theater professionals and alumni performers, supported by young artists-in-training. Brown alumni playwrights and other established American dramatists gather at Brown each summer to showcase their new works.
This year’s shows and their remaining performances are:
In Spite of the Devil

August 1 at 8 p.m. and August 2 at 1 p.m.
Girls on the Clock

To purchase tickets, which are all general admission, go to the theater box office at 77 Waterman Street, or call 401 863-2838. Tickets may also be purchased online. During the summer the box office is open Tuesday–Saturday through August 1, noon–4 p.m. and 5 p.m.–8 p.m.; and on August 2 from noon to 8 p.m. Tickets are $12, $10 for Brown faculty/staff/students/senior citizens, and $5 for students with a valid ID.
Founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Lowry Marshall, the Playwrights Rep was established to meet the need of emerging playwrights to develop new work in a relaxed and creative atmosphere. Young writers who are already developing a national reputation are invited to Brown for six weeks each summer. Working with a company of gifted professional actors and directors, playwrights become deeply engaged in the production process — attending rehearsals daily, and shaping and refining their texts as each new play is born.
