Since 2006, Artists' Exchange has hosted the One Act Play Festival for the entertainment and enjoyment of the Cranston community.

This years' festival will be held outdoors for the first time ever, and feature a performance by Firefly Theatre Company.
Theatre For Everyone
Artists' Exchange's Theatre brings quality theatre productions and programming to the community of Cranston; a community of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities. We celebrate our love of the theatre with several in-house productions each year, from the annual One Act Play Festival, to the holiday favorite"A Christmas Carol," with our own unique twist, and much more.
In addition to our in-house productions, we are thrilled to also be home to resident theatre company, WomensWork, who produce incredible, professional plays throughout the year. We also serve as a host venue to many local theatre companies and artists who may be interested in putting on a production.
