The collection also contains materials from Trinity Repertory Theatre in Providence, Rhode Island. These include playbills, press materials, and historical documentation covering a wide range of productions. Trinity Repertory Theatre was founded in 1963 in Providence, Rhode Island.

The collection also contains materials from community-based theater, particularly the Providence Players. These records include production files, newsletters, administrative documents, and publicity materials.

Administrative information

A majority of the collection was donated by Rhode Island College theatre professor Joseph Graham. Trinity Repertory Company materials were primarily donated by Trinity Reparatory Company.

The collection was initially created, arranged, and named the Rhode Island College theatre collection by Special Collections staff prior to 2019. The inventory for the collection was created by Special Collections student worker Kyanna Dasilva in 2025. The inventory was finalized, and the collection was described by Digital Archivist and Special Collections Librarian Veronica L. Denison in 2026. At that time, materials specifically relating to Rhode Island College theatre productions were removed and added to the Rhode Island College Department of Theatre and Dance records, as that entity was responsible for those productions. Concurrently, the collection was renamed the Performing Arts collection.

Additional information

Rhode Island College has additional theatre and performing arts collections, including the Mark Estrin collection (MSS-0033), the Edwin B. Safford collection (MSS-0045), and the Rhode Island College Department of Theatre and Dance records. Special Collections also holds the Joseph Graham rare book collection, which contains books related to theatre and performing arts.

The collection is not digitized, and materials are not available online.
