The winter season heats up at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) this month, with a busy lineup of theater, live music, and comedy on tap through March. PPAC continues to bring the best of Broadway, with a pair of top musicals kicking things off in January. First up, running January 16-18, is Clue, Live on Stage, a whodunit, based on the classic Hasbro board game, that will keep you laughing and guessing.
Opening January 20 is Suffs, a Tony Award-winning musical that brings the women’s suffrage movement to life, centered around the stories of suffragettes Alice Paul, Ida B. Wells, and others who led the fight for women’s right to vote. In March, the blockbuster musical Wicked arrives for a return engagement at the historic downtown venue.
All this comes on the heels of the announcement that longtime general manager Alan Chille was recently announced as PPAC’s new president and CEO, succeeding J.L. “Lynn” Singleton. In announcing Chille’s appointment, board chair Joseph W. Walsh stated, “Alan has served as PPAC’s general manager for over 41 years and has first-hand knowledge of managing all administrative aspects of PPAC. It is rare to have this type of in-depth, institutional, and experiential knowledge in a successor, so we are very fortunate and confident that Alan’s appointment will ensure seamless continuity.” Learn more at PPACRI.org
