PPAC spokesperson Caitlyn DiPompo told PBN that the theater is always looking ahead to future programming, but it is unclear at this time if or when “Hamilton” will return to PPAC.
PPAC said current subscribers will receive in the next few weeks their renewal packets and have until May 23 to renew their subscriptions. New subscribers can enroll up until June 1 to attend next season’s slate of performances, PPAC said. Additional information can be found by calling PPAC’s box office at 401-421-2787.
