Moving Day is a powerful and heartfelt stage play, written and directed by playwright and producer, Robyn L. Rease. Moving Day is the dramatization of the lives of three women and their journey to total victory and wholeness - overcoming abandonment, sexual abuse, and drug addiction. Based on actual events, the play creates separate stages for the stories of Hyacinth 'Hycie' Milner, Carrie Dumas, and Arlaine Douglas - and the dynamic supporting characters that help them to make us laugh while bringing us to tears of healing and deliverance. Filled with worshipful music, compelling dialogue, infidelity, and murder, Moving Day pushes us to promise to ourselves to move on from the places our pain has left us and into the fullness of joy that God has provided. Theatre 82 is located at 82 Rolfe Square Cranston, RI 02910. For more information and tickets, call 401.490.9475 or visit www.artists-exchange.org.

A ingenious tale of two of the modern theatre's greatest minds and largest egos - those of Orson Welles and Laurence Olivier. The time is 1960; the place is the Royal Court theatre. Legendary critic Kenneth Tynan has made a startling proposal: Welles should direct Olivier and the young Joan Plowright in 'Rhinoceros', Eugene Ionesco's absurdist masterpiece. They play serves as lifeline for both the great actor and the once genius director of Citizen Kane. The rehearsal process brims with absurdity as titanic personalities, along with Tynan, Plowright, and Vivien Leigh, wrestle the muse and their own crippling insecurities in this witty and incisive depiction of the drama of theatre. Theatre 82 is located at 82 Rolfe Square Cranston, RI 02910. For more information and tickets, call 401.490.9475 or visit www.artists-exchange.org.
