THEATRE
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.
​
We also serve as a host venue to many local theatre companies and artists who may be interested in putting on a production.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.
Give a man a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
