Directions
Blackstone River Theatre is a red-brick building located at 549 Broad Street, Cumberland, Rhode Island. If you are from the area, you know the location as “across the street from where Ann & Hope used to be!”
We have a 38-car parking lot to the left of the theater and there is additional off-street parking available next door thanks to our friends at Open MRI of New England. The main entrance of the building is in front through the wooden doors. A sloped walkway to the left of the building offers entrance for those with handicapped-access needs or if easily negotiating stairs is a problem.

Parking
Blackstone River Theatre features well-lit, FREE, off-street parking in our 38-car parking lot adjacent to the theatre. The theatre is handicapped-accessible by means of a sloped walkway which leads from the parking lot directly into the main hall.
When our parking lot is full, we have received permission from our friends next door at Open MRI of New England to use their off-street parking lot which is located on the other side of the theatre building.
Broad Street is a very busy road! Please be patient and careful when pulling in and out of our parking lot.
