For a comprehensive list of what is going on, in and around Providence, take a look at the The Providence Journal. Here you will not only find reviews of current movies, theater productions and musical performances, but also advertisements from practically every restaurant and cafe in town and classifeds. In addition to the Web site, The Phoenix, Rhode Island’s largest weekly, is available at nearly every eating/entertainment establishment in Providence. Many films are shown (free of charge) each week at RISD and Brown; information on screenings is usually posted around campus. There are also two good movie theaters, an IMAX theater and a repertory company near campus.
