From Our General Manager...
Trinity Rep Radio Theater is a magical hour that feels timeless. The performances entertain and illuminate. Conversation and context, led by WRNI Morning Edition Host Bob Seay, smoothly intertwine between remarkable storytelling as if you had the finest actors and their director around your kitchen table or living room hearth.
This monthly program resurrects radio as a dynamic medium of theatrical performance — placing the listener squarely in the intimacy of the moment created by master authors and playwrights — and is directed by Trinity Repertory Company's Artistic Director Curt Columbus.
The program came about thanks to Curt’s hard work, creative energies and eagerness to feature his terrific troupe of actors and add to the tradition of excellence that is the signature of WRNI, Rhode Island's NPR News Station.
I can't thank Curt enough for bringing the best of Rhode Island theater to the state's only NPR station, and I look forward to a long run of monthly installments.
I’m also pleased that WRNI’s Bob Seay agreed to host. It was only after Bob became part of the program that I learned that since 1986, he has been on the board of the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater on Cape Cod, and has worked for several other Cape Cod theaters from Barnstable to Provincetown. Bob’s knowledge of the theater combined with his interviewing skills clearly make him the perfect host for the program.
