Its tough to review improv because the cast and material are always changing. I remember seeing…read moreImprov Jones about 8 years ago and thought it was great. However, a recent show I went to was cringe-worthy. Out of 4 performers it seemed like one completely lacked a sense of humor, another wanted to be the center of attention and would do anything to get there, one knew they were bombing, and the last girl was pretty funny. Due the nature of long form improv as opposed to the more common type of improv they got stuck with terrible audience suggestions that they had to use for an hour. Note to performers- next time an audience member suggests a character that has an obsession with clocktowers...keep asking for suggestions. The performance was bad enough that my friends and I didn't even feel like continuing our night afterwords. One of the exchanges between two of the performers lasted about 10 minutes and was so bad and lacking laughs that I almost felt bad for them. The girl in this particular scene about a mutual love of clocktowers knew that they were going down in flames. I must give the guy in that scene credit though, anyone who's job it is to make people laugh who fails to do that even once during the course of an hour yet continues to get up in front of crowds deserve at least some praise for guts.

It's almost like they come up with the whole darn thing ON THE SPOT! As a result, there's no reason not to see two shows in a row. I have lived in Providence for 6 years, and I can always count on Jones to liven up a night on the town.

Which was the perfect amount of time to completely entertain and yet leave you wanting to come back to watch again.There was great audience participation, the atmosphere was so laid back and the troop was very comfortable and confident. I laughed for the entire hour. The only thing i wouldn't do - Don't bring the children, it is definitely adult oriented, but very funny! $5 for an hour of your life - you bet! Well worth it!

There is a good amount of parking in the area, but definitely need to plan ahead to walk up the hill if you don't use their parking lot. Their parking lot is expensive in my opinion, so I always try to find street parking or use the mall garage. They get really great shows here too. My only complaint is that the shows NEVER start on time.

We were greeted kindly by the ticket scanners and the ushers, and were led to our seats. There are adequate restrooms on both floors and we experienced very little wait time there as well. Our seats were awesome - Front row of the balcony all the way on the left, and the view was perfect. Taking a star off because the sound wasn't very balanced in this part of the venue, but it was still a great show. Seats here are comfortable, the theatre is beautiful, and there is a lot of street parking as well as a lot close by to the theatre. Vets is smaller than its sister theatre, PPAC, and a little more manageable. Great place for a concert or a theatre performance.

Thursday nights are for theater & this production was truly unforgettable! Primary Trust tells a…read morepowerful story about how even the smallest acts of kindness can profoundly change a lonely person's life & it does so with such heart. This was one of the best performances I've seen in a long time - deeply moving, beautifully acted & emotionally resonant from start to finish. Taavon Gamble was absolutely spectacular - his performance was nuanced, captivating & left a lasting impression. The entire cast & production team brought incredible energy & authenticity to the stage, making the story feel both intimate & universal. If you see one show this year, make it Primary Trust at Trinity Repertory Company. It is the kind of theater experience that stays with you long after the curtain falls. Highly recommend.

The space is nice, laid back vibe. From entering to being helped to our seats to exiting the theatre everyone was so nice. We definitely enjoyed the show. The parking is a bit pricey and the drinks are also pricey for a small glass with more ice than drink. The selection is also limited. They have a few snacks and a small area outside the theatre room where you can sit while you wait for the show to start.. I love coming to this theatre for shows. I just wish they would work on the pricing to drink ratio
