The decision was made since Trinity Rep’s Chace Theater will be under renovation, according to Trinity Rep’s Executive Director Katie Liberman.

“I am so grateful to our colleagues and friends at PPAC who have welcomed us to their venue just a few blocks away to ensure our holiday tradition can continue this winter,” Liberman said.

A Christmas Carol runs from Nov. 23 to Dec. 4, followed by a brief break to make room for the national tour of Hamilton. A Christmas Carol will return to PPAC from Dec. 26 to Dec. 29.

“We are making history! PPAC’s partnership with Trinity Rep is the first of its kind in Rhode Island, and it will likely introduce new audiences to our theater and this beloved production,” PPAC President and CEO J.L. “Lynn” Singleton said. “We are looking forward to celebrating the holidays with Trinity Rep this year.”

Tickets go on sale to Trinity subscribers on Monday, July 29, and to the public on Aug. 19.

The Chace Theater has not been refurbished since Trinity Rep first moved into the place in 1972. Construction is expected to begin in October 2024 and is part of a larger renovation.
