The Sandra Feinstien Gamm Theatre is a small theater in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

The Gamm Theatre was founded in 1984 by seven memebers of the gradauating class of Trinity Rep Conservatory and was then called Alias Stage. Little more than five years had passed when a fire had forced the actors out of their original space in an old mill. Thankfully, support from the public allowed them to move to a second mill location. In 1998, the theatre accepted a donation from Alan Shawn Feinstein and it was renamed the Sandra Feinstein Gamm Theatre, for his beloved sister. The theatre was becoming very popular and the 75 seat house that was currently in use was not enough. The theater staff searched and searched for a new venue and found one in Pawtucket. It was the Pawtucket Armory Annex. In 2003, the new season at their new home opened with A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas. Soon, The Gamm Theatre became a member of New England Area Theatre. The theatre has acquired much praise and support from the City of Pawtucket, subscribers, and fans.

Anthony (Tony) Estrella, a Pawtucket native, has been a director and actor with the Gamm for over seven years. He has appeared in over a dozen productions including The Lonesome West, Crime and Punishment, Red Noses, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, Julius Caesar, The Crucible, The Tempest, The Homecoming, Travesties, Much Ado About Nothing, The Grapes of Wrath, and the title roles in Henry V and Hamlet. He has also directed the company's productions of Twelfth Night, The Beard of Avon, An Enemy of the People, A Child's Christmas in Wales, Hot L Baltimore and Uncle Vanya. He has also appeared in theaters across New England and teaches acting and script analysis at the University of Rhode Island. Estrella will be appearing in the Martin Scorsese's upcoming film The Departed and the Disney film Underdog. Tony is a graduate of Trinity Rep Conservatory and the University of Rhode Island.
