PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Trinity Repertory Co. is cleaning up and assessing damage after a small fire filled its historic Providence building with smoke on Monday, and officials are trying to determine whether the opening of a show scheduled for this week can go ahead.

Acting Fire Chief Michael Dillon says about 25 firefighters responded to the theater building — which is on the National Register of Historic Places — shortly after 8 p.m. Firefighters found a mattress burning on a stage in one of the theaters.
