The Rhode Island Stage Ensemble (RISE) is a part of the Northern Rhode Island community, providing a platform for local theatrical talent to shine. The theater, located in Woonsocket’s historic Masonic Hall, is a non-profit, non-professional theater company established in 2006 by a group of experienced individuals. RISE offers a unique opportunity for those passionate about theater to develop their skills through conception, production, performance, marketing, finance, tech, direction, acting, and design. By providing a space for generations of talent to grow, RISE is helping to ensure that the arts will remain an integral part of the community.
