Outstanding performances light up the stage in this twisty futuristic tale.

Unlike any other name in literature, the words and works of William Shakespeare have stood the test of time, so try to imagine a period in history when his plays—as he wrote them—were on the brink of obscurity.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about air guitar? Now try to imagine a national championship with actual stage performances and musical accompaniment. Who would ever do such a thing—and why?

Looking for some fun and joy this summer with a little bit of rock ‘n’ roll? Things will be epically rocking at Airness by Chelsea Marcantel, set to captivate audiences at The Contemporary Theater Company in Wakefield from June 23 to July 15.

The lights go up. Actors step onstage. The audience does not know what is about to happen… and neither do the performers. That magic moment that holds the potential for anything to unfold is the driving force behind the Ocean State Improv Festival, which will take the stage at the Contemporary Theater Company in Wakefield, Rhode Island June 7-11.

Contemporary Theater Company kicks off the holiday season with its delightful, rollicking production of 'A Christmas Story,' based on the beloved 1983 film written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, and Bob Clark, and adapted for the stage by Philip Grecian.

Explore the Colorado River in this taut, compelling — and darkly funny — production at the Contemporary Theater Company.

Ten explorers, four boats, and one mission: to map the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. In 1869, Major John Wesley Powell and his crew set off on an adventure, and now in 2022, you can see it onstage at Men on Boats by Jaclyn Backhaus at The Contemporary Theater Company in Wakefield from August 12 – September 10.

The Contemporary Theater Company has mounted a dazzling production of Shakespeare's tale of tragic retribution, with an outstanding cast, deft and innovative direction, and a stunning set. Get thee to Wakefield, and quickly, too, to see this brilliant show.
