Reviews
"Terrific fun yesterday at Progress, The Lonesome West is fast-paced, dark, and funny. They absolutely did it justice. Front of house was delightful, and the drinkies are well priced. Well worth a visit. Cheeky photo at interval."
"We've visited the Progress on many occasions over the years and we've never regretted going to watch their fine amateur productions. Always great work by the actors and crew. Refreshments are available at unusually reasonable prices at their in-house bar before the show and during the interval. We saw a production of Liars Teeth last week. It was very much up their usual high standards."
"Excellent small Theatre, well appointed and run. Production of Jeeves & Wooster was hilarious and brilliantly acted and staged. A great evening out."
"Great local theatre! Went to see Jeeves & Wooster last weekend, had immense fun, it was exactly what was needed that day. The place is small, but cozy. They have a lovely bar, and exhibit artwork by local artists in the lobby witn option to buy. We bought a beautiful piece and the coordinator said they display works from different artists every new show."
"I went to see the play Angels in America here. This is a very intimate theatre. About a hundred seats max and a very small stage. This doesn't diminish at all from the powerful performances given by the talented actors. The staff are lovely and you get the vibe 'we are family here'."
