Trinity Repertory Company has announced plans for its 2017-18 season. The six-play lineup aims to tell stories that reflect the diverse nature of its community. It will feature the talents of Trinity’s Resident Acting Company as well as several Brown/Trinity MFA graduates, who will be returning to direct.

The season kicks off with a repertory presentation of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, directed by Brian McEleney, and Dominique Morisseau's Skeleton Crew, directed by Tiffany Nichole Greene. The two works will run in rep September 28-November 26.

Ringing in the holiday season will be the 40th anniversary production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, running from November 9 to New Year's Eve.
