ABOUT US “Creating Special Moments … Lasting Memories” Dedicated to education and excellence in the performing arts, specifically Music and Theatre   ABOUT US Cornerstone Playhouse is a small, year-round Performing Arts Organization of South County dedicated to education and excellence in the Performing Arts, specifically music and theatre. The members strive to provide experiences that “create special moments and lasting memories”. It is a non-profit organization (tax ID # 20-5032322) and Federal 501-C-3 status is pending. Programming: We present a variety of concerts, plays, musicals, staged readings and theatre for young through adult audiences. In addition, educational workshops in theatre and music are offered to children and adults to further hone skills for the artists. Cornerstone Playhouse will continue to seek venues for the celebration of community talent where members of any age, gather together, enjoy the performing arts, share skills, mentor, and educate. Directors hope to develop community Outreach Programs with visual and performing arts programs from area schools. Opportunities for Advisory Board positions, internships and scholarships will be available over time. Our Mission:  Offer the community a living art form, consisting of music and theatre with a commitment to excellence in both education and entertainment.  We strive to create a vibrant and supportive environment, which cultivates talent, passion and confidence in the performing arts. Background:  The Fradette family embarked on a “Revival of a cherished South County tradition” in June of 2005, following the closing of Theatre by the Sea. The “revival” began with family-friendly cabarets followed by light Opera, semi-professional and professional shows. Joe Parillo, Director of Jazz studies at URI, (Grammy nominee composer and Steinway piano artist) joined to host weekly Jazz & Jam and Big Band programs providing musicians of all ages an opportunity to work with and learn from each other in a comfortable setting. Thus, the concept of the Cornerstone Playhouse evolved from the success of the family- friendly cabarets, musical mentoring series and over whelming community support.
