context_page_description: The Arctic Playhouse is a non-profit theater in West Warwick, Rhode Island. It is currently housed in a storefront in the village of Arctic, Rhode Island.
context_section_description: TAP has acquired the former Maxine's Department Store, which will be the new home of The Arctic Playhouse, following a $1.5-million renovation that will give the theater company room to grow. “At the current location, the playhouse has 90 seats. At 1249 Main Street, it will have over 200 seats”, said board member Lloyd Felix.
  The new facility is divided into a main theater with balcony seating and a cabaret stage for smaller, more intimate, audiences. Long time supporter Ida Zecco hosted the first Cabaret Club to a packed house on April 30, 2019 with Jim Rice on piano and guest artist John Abernathy. She will continue to host Cabaret Club the last Tuesday of each month featuring award winning, professional, cabaret artists for the first hour and an open mic for the second hour. Another regular supporting artist, Lon Cerel, followed on May 3 with his Thief of Thoughts performance.
  In this beautiful, new cabaret room, The Arctic Playhouse audiences continue to enjoy the same high standard of entertainment produced from their main stage productions. Executive Producers, Jim Belanger, Lloyd Felix and Bryan Sawyer along with their many volunteers are committed to the city of West Warwick to the developing of the performing arts; raising the quality of life for its residents. Each production from The Cabaret Club Series not only entertains, but excites, educates and inspires.
