Perishable Theatre

As Rhode Island’s research & development theatre, Perishable Theatre incubates artists working in the medium of performance and cultivates audiences in Rhode Island. Over its 26-year history Perishable has produced and presented scores of innovative performances. We believe that performance is a highly elastic medium that includes and often synthesizes other art forms such as music, dance, puppetry, digital media, literature, poetry, sculpture, architecture, painting, etc. Perishable also believes that performance provides artists with the forum to engage in big public ideas and provides audiences with the unique experience of having a personal experience safely within a group of strangers.
