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 an annual Play Festival, to the holiday favorites with our own unique twist, and much more.
​
We also serve as a host venue to local theatre companies and artists who may be interested in putting on a production. Our theatre can serve as both a traditional black box theatre, as well as thrust space, with stadium-style seating.
