Short Description

Artists’ Exchange’s Black Box Theatre proudly presents John Irving’s “The Cider House Rules,” a story of how far one man goes to find the place where he belongs.

Set in rural Maine in the first half of the 20th century and spanning decades, what begins as the story of a young boy born in an orphanage matures into a coming of age tale fraught with tension and ultimately explores the meaning of family, love, duty and sacrifice.

“The play raises more questions than it gives answers, but that is precisely why I wanted to produce it,” says Rich Morra, Artistic Director of the Black Box Theatre.

Cider House Rules, Part I: Here in St. Cloud’s will be performed May 5, 6, 8, 9 and the 19 and 21. Part II: In Other Parts of the World will be performed May 13-16 and 22-23. Evening performances are at 7pm, and Sunday matinees are at 2 or 4pm. All performances will take place in the Black Box Theatre at Artists’ Exchange. Artists’ Exchange is located at 50 Rolfe Square in Cranston. For more information, call 401.490.9475 or visit artists-exchange.org.
