Community theatre is always a gamble. Like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. Recent shows we've attended have been diverse, from Christmas Pantomime (which seemed to be primarily for the benefit of the actors and where every audience member seemed to be related to someone on stage) to musical impersonators (I'd swear it really WAS Ed Sullivan up there) to the suspenseful thriller "Wait Until Dark" (well-produced and well-performed in a limiting environment). This theatre is home to a number of smaller dramatic groups, and a stopping-off point for many travelling shows, so the varied schedule of events is likely to provide something for every taste. The building is historically old and has been recently refurbished, but the auditorium is small and facilities are limited. That said, all the seats are good, and no-one claimed this was The Old Vic. A good time can be enjoyed by all. Just open the box and take your pick.
