PPAC announces 2021-22 schedule
PROVIDENCE – Providence Performing Arts Center’s curtain will rise again in October.
Twelve performances for the 2021-22 Broadway season were announced Tuesday by Providence Performing Arts Center leadership, signaling a sign that the historic downtown theater will raise the curtain soon after being dark for more than a year.
PPAC’s lights have been dim since March 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other performance venues have been temporarily repurposed for pandemic-related matters. PPAC initially planned to reopen in January, but then pushed its restart back until the fall of 2021. PPAC President J.L. “Lynn” Singleton said at the time that the Broadway industry as a whole opted to do a national reset of all touring shows – which PPAC regularly hosts – and the shows would not be held between January and June.
