About the Historic Park Theatre
Built in 1924, the Park Theatre was recognized as one of the finest theatrical enterprises in the state. In November of 1924, Mayor Arthur A. Rhodes, other city officials, prominent men of the city and hundreds of enthusiastic theatergoers attended opening ceremony of the historicPark Theatre. For the nearly eight decades until it closed its doors in 2002, Cranston’s Park Theatre was a cultural landmark for those growing up and living in Cranston.
The one-time film and vaudeville house has been reborn as Rhode Island’s newest theatre and performing arts center. On October 23, 2009 Park Theatre held its grand re-opening, following seven years and nearly $10 million in renovations, with Mayor Allan W. Fung, former Mayor Stephen P. Laffey and many other theatergoers in attendance. The theatre’s owner and developer is Rhode Island businessman Piyush (Pi) Patel of Narragansett, along with his partner in the development, attorney Paul Plourde of Providence.
The State Ballet of Rhode Island, Rhode Island’s first classical ballet company in residence, is a non-profit, regional, semi-professional ballet company whose purpose is to promote and maintain the highest standards of dance education and performance.
