About The Wilbury

The Wilbury is a versatile, intimate black-box performance space housed within the WaterFire Arts Center, a 37,000-square-foot multi-use arts complex in Providence’s Valley Arts District. Since relocating to the WaterFire campus in 2021, The Wilbury continues to host dynamic productions, readings, workshops, and co-productions with WaterFire. With a focus on engaging, up-close performances, this venue is a cornerstone of Providence’s indie theater scene.

Located at 475 Valley Street, The Wilbury is part of a larger arts campus that fosters collaboration among artists, performers, and audiences. Whether you’re catching a world premiere or a festival showcase, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed space that prioritizes connection between performers and spectators.

Plan ahead by securing your seats for upcoming shows and exploring nearby lodging and dining options. The Wilbury sits within easy reach of downtown Providence, with convenient parking on-site at the WaterFire Arts Center and nearby ALCO lots. RIPTA bus routes provide accessible transit to and from downtown. For travelers, several hotels are just minutes away, including Graduate Providence, Aloft Providence Downtown, Providence Marriott Downtown, Hotel Providence, The Beatrice, and Residence Inn. We’ve highlighted affiliate hotel and restaurant partners to help you book confidently and dine before or after performances.

Events to watch include the Providence Fringe Festival (FringePVD) and Wilbury/WaterFire co-productions, with notable world premieres such as From Here To Where and Decameron Providence. The Wilbury Group’s move to the WaterFire Arts Center in 2021 brought new life to the space while preserving its intimate, flexible stage that supports a range of productions. Secure your seats and enjoy a true local theater experience—easy, reliable, and just a short ride from the city’s best eateries and lodgings.
