FULL STORY - September 11, 2020
While Rhode Island’s venerable summer playhouse is shuttered
by the Coronavirus, we look back at its storied history. ​
We stand in solidarity with our Black employees, fellow theatre creators, performers, musicians, crew, audience members, and all those in the Black community. We stand against racism. We stand against discrimination in all forms. We see you, we hear you. We are listening. We know we’re not perfect. We know we have not always been vocal when we should have. For that, we are truly sorry.

Actions will always speak louder than words. We must now collectively take it upon ourselves as an organization and individual citizens to do the work—to donate, to research, to self-educate, to train staff, to protect employees/guests, to stand against hate, to stand against racism at all touchpoints. We know we have a long way to go to shape the future we wish to see in life, on stage, and behind the scenes. We must never again fall silent. We must work together to speak out, now and forever, until #BlackLivesMatter is more than just a movement, but the tangible reality of true justice for all.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET
June 9 - June 27, 2021
The Tony® Award nominated musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is set on December 4, 1956, when an extraordinary twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley together at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary December night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations that is both poignant and funny. Relive the era with the smash-hit sensation featuring an incredible score of rock ‘n’ roll, gospel, R&B and country hits, performed live onstage by world-class actors and musicians. Showcased hit songs include “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Hound Dog,” and more.
FUNNY GIRL
June 30 - July 18, 2021
Don't miss your opportunity to see FUNNY GIRL at Theatre By The Sea, as this is the only theatre in the country allowed to produce the show in 2021.  Hilarious, passionate, tender and entertaining, FUNNY GIRL tells the story of Fanny Brice who, in the Ziegfeld Follies, in Hollywood films, and on the radio, was one of the most celebrated entertainers of her time. With humor, talent, and chutzpah, young Fanny, an awkward Jewish girl who “isn’t pretty,” defies the odds and becomes one of the greatest stars of her generation. This iconic musical explores her roller coaster vaudeville life and rise to super-stardom and her turbulent romance with gambler Nick Arnstein. With one of the most incredible scores in musical theatre which includes “People,” “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” “The Music That Makes Me Dance,” and “You Are Woman, I Am Man,” FUNNY GIRL is everything a musical ssould be – romantic, touching and downright hysterical.
