Artists' Exchange

Trial by Theatre is a new Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts theatre company built on the belief that theatre should be boundless and accessible to all. For their debut production, they present The Grown-Ups, written by Simon Henriques and Skylar Fox and directed by Cyrus Busteed.

Following a group of camp counselors trying to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker, The Grown-Ups explores the traditions that change us, what it takes for us to change them, and how to change yourself when you're hopelessly, tragically not prepared for this.

Performances run August 14 through 22, 2026 at Artists' Exchange Black Box Theater, 50 Rolfe Square, Cranston, RI 02910. Tickets available at <a href="https://www.artists-exchange.org/theatre" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.artists-exchange.org/theatre</a>

Similar to tai chi, qigong was developed as a healing art rather than a martial art and tends to be simpler to learn. It involves individual flowing movements that stretch and strengthen the body, ultimately putting us in touch with our vital energy (qi).&nbsp;Whether to naturally relieve or prevent pain, maintain wellbeing, or find deeper spiritual connection, qigong is beneficial.
Benefits of qigong:
<ul class="rx-format-list-to-text"><li>pain relief/prevention</li><li>improved balance</li><li>increased strength</li><li>increased flexibility</li><li>reduced stress</li><li>relaxation</li></ul>
