Trinity Repertory Company has announced that Jude Sandy has joined the resident acting company. Sandy, a Trinidadian native, graduated from Brown University in 2005 and Brown/Trinity Rep MFA program in 2009. Most recently, he played Jem in Trinity Rep’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” and Meridian Henry in “Blues For Mister Charlie.” His acting credits include the Broadway production of “War Horse” at Lincoln Center, and off-Broadway in Hang A Tale's “The Little Prince, Hit The Wall” at Barrow Street Theatre and Fault Line Theatre's “At The Table.” Sandy can now be seen on stage at Trinity Rep as Will Parker in the critically acclaimed production of “Oklahoma!.”

“It is an honor to join this incomparable company of deeply inspiring artists,” remarked Sandy. “Trinity Rep has been my artistic home since I arrived as a graduate student a decade ago, and after years of living as a New York actor and touring, coming back to Providence reunites me with a family and community I love like no other.”

“Bringing Jude into the company right now is terribly exciting,” says artistic director Curt Columbus. “Not only is he a masterful actor, singer and dancer, but he possesses an incredible artistic mind and a spirit of generosity. While he is an incredible talent, it’s these other qualities that make him a perfect fit for this company.
