The Dunkin' Donuts Center is an indoor arena located in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. It was built in 1972, as a home court for the emerging Providence College men's basketball program, due to the high demand for tickets to their games in Alumni Hall, as well as for a home arena for the then-Providence Reds, who played in the nearly 50-year-old Rhode Island Auditorium. Current tenants include the Providence Bruins, of the AHL and the Providence College men's basketball team.BackgroundThe idea for a Civic Center in Providence had been proposed as early as 1958, on the site of what later became the Providence Place Mall. The project was proposed as a joint federal-state-city project, which would create jobs and bring economic benefits. However, the plan failed due to the inability to secure federal funds.In 1968, the plan was revived again as a statewide bond issue in the 1968 general election; voters outside of Providence soundly defeated the referendum. Finally, mayor Joseph A. Doorley Jr. pushed through a citywide special referendum in 1969, which passed. When this amount proved to be inadequate, Doorley pushed through another referendum in 1971, which also passed. The project became so closely associated with Mayor Doorley that it was referred to in the press as "Doorley's Dream."HistoryThe Providence Civic Center was constructed in 1972 on the site of an old jewelry factory. The opening ceremony was held November 3, 1972, with a Providence Reds hockey game. President Richard Nixon, campaigning in the area, was invited to the attend, but he declined. In its first year, the center hosted concerts by Pink Floyd and Frank Sinatra, as well as hockey games and political rallies, and was considered a success.

At Murder On Us the action happens all around you, not on a stage. Since the action takes place amongst the tables, all seats are great! Audience members are often caught in the middle as gunshots are fired, switch-blades are snapped open, or characters break into song. The scenes of the play are alternated with the courses of the meal. During the dinner breaks, the actors mingle with the audience and entertain on a one to one basis. Best of all, the audience member who does the best job of solving the mystery receives a free ticket to a future show! Price per ticket is $55.00 This includes a four course dinner, the show, taxes and tip!

Since August 1994, when the Paul Krot Darkroom was established at 115 Empire Street, AS220’s photography programs have grown to embrace both digital and traditional B&W photography, added studio lighting and camera rentals, as well as resources for photo finishing, digital editing and large-format printing, and broadened AS220’s educational offerings with a host of new workshops. In March 2012, AS220 announced that it would further expand its photography programs to create a home for creative work in complementary analog and digital mediums such as: film, video, computer/internet applications, and audio. In addition to the resources offered at AS220 Media Arts, located alongside AS220 Labs and the Community Printshop at the Mercantile Block, artists can access the solo and group facilities of the Paul Krot Community Darkroom, the only public-access professional B&W darkroom in Rhode Island. About AS220 AS220 was founded in 1985 on the principle that freedom of expression is crucial for the development of strong communities and individual spirits. AS220's vision for a local unjuried and uncensored forum for the arts was launched in a one-room rental above the Providence Performing Arts Center with a budget of just $800. Today, the non-profit owns - and enlivens - three mixed-use buildings, totaling over 100,000 square feet, in the heart of Providence's downtown. Though sizable, AS220 is bursting at the seams with: four rotating gallery spaces, a performance space, a youth program, a recording studio, a print shop, a darkroom and media arts lab, a high-tech fabrication and electronics lab, a black-box theatre, a dance studio, four dozen affordable live/work studios, an AS220 owned and operated bar and restaurant, plus a handful of locally-grown non-profit and commercial tenants. AS220's facilities and services are available to any artist who needs a place to exhibit, perform, or create original work and its classes and public-access studios are among the most affordable in the nation. Each year, AS220 serves over 1,000 artists, reaching an audience 50,000 strong - and growing.
