Company Description

Our Mission: The Gamm Theatre is proud to tell stories that entertain, provoke, and engage seriously with the most important issues of our time. The Gamm further serves the public with educational programming that enriches the cultural and civic life of our community. Now entering its 36th season, The Gamm is one of the region's premier professional theaters and a cultural asset. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Tony Estrella and Managing Director Amy Gravell, The Gamm brings world-class theater to audiences in Southern New England and beyond. As a destination for critically acclaimed productions, including numerous world and regional premieres, the theater has received several Elliot Norton Awards from the Boston Theater Critics Association, among other professional recognitions. Drawing on the talent of local and visiting artists, we present an eclectic season of exciting new works and classics made to feel new — from the naturalistic to the epic. Our hallmark intimate space, with just 185 seats, allows audiences to engage fully with our productions. Additionally, through a range of robust education and community programs, The Gamm promotes life-long literacy for thousands of school students grades K-12, as well as underserved audience members.The Gamm was founded in 1984 as Alias Stage by a small group of actors from the graduating class of Trinity Rep Conservatory. In 1998, the theater was renamed The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) in honor of the late actress and arts supporter. The company relocated to an annex of the historic Pawtucket National Guard Armory in 2003, where it performed for 15 seasons. In September 2018, The Gamm moved to its permanent home in Warwick. With more seats, and greater comfort and potential, this newly renovated venue is proving to provide an enhanced experience for our artists and audiences.The Gamm is a proud member of New England Area Theatres, a bargaining unit of Actors' Equity Association.
