Tom Gleadow directs in rehearsal for CABARET
PREVIEW: CABARET BY THE WILBURY THEATRE GROUP in RI Monthly
"One of the newer additions to the thriving Providence theater scene, the Wilbury Group has quickly made a name for itself as a team of artists dedicated to the cutting edge. Founded in 2010 and situated in the nooks and crannies turned performance spaces of the Southside Cultural Center, they defy all expectations... When I ask Tom Gleadow, director of the group’s upcoming production of Cabaret, the iconic Broadway musical, how he plans to bring that Wilbury edge to a show that’s been done to death, he laughs. When he took on the project, he says, he’d given a lot of thought to that question himself." Read more.

Thursday, May 29th-The Refugee Experience
We all know that immigration boomed in the early 1900's. What about today's immigrants? What are their stories? Why did they decide to come to the US? Was it hard for them to get here and how have they settled? Please join Yvonne Towah as she tells us her story about emigrating to the US from the Ivory Coast and how her life changed once she came to Rhode Island.
Thursday, June 5th-How did she survive?
We all know the Holocaust was a horrific time for many people. We have all heard inspiring stories of people survived. These stories need to be told and we need to remember. Never Again is the slogan for Holocaust Remembrance Day. Join us as we hear one of these stories. Alice Goldstein joins us in conversation to talk about she escaped Germany and the Nazis in 1939.
