The Prince of Providence Tickets
The Prince of Providence, which chronicles the life of former Providence mayor Vincent “Buddy” Cianci, is one of the most anticipated theatrical events of the season and is expected to sell out. The show has been a driving factor behind significant growth in Trinity Rep’s subscriber count. The number of new subscribers has more than doubled compared to previous years, as subscribers receive significant discounts and the best seats for this once-in-a-generation show. Even after tickets go on sale to the general public, prime seats will remain on hold for those wishing to become full season subscribers. Subscriber tickets begin at $20 per show and they may see savings as high as 75%.

Tickets will go on sale at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 10. Tickets will be available online at trinityrep.com/buddy or in person at the Trinity Rep box office, located at 201 Washington St. Tickets will not be available by phone on August 10. Regular phone and walk-up service will resume on Monday, August 12 and tickets will be available online at any time for as long as they remain.

The play is written by George Brant, based on the book by Mike Stanton. It will be directed by Taibi Magar, a Brown/Trinity alumna who has garnered international attention for her work. It was previously announced that Trinity Rep resident acting company member Rebecca Gibel will play the role of Sheila Cianci. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
