I've seen a couple of plays here recently put on by The Adelaide Repertory Theatre company. It's an older theatre but I'm only taking one star off for that. The price of the performances here are very reasonable, so I'm not expecting a flash theatre. The seats were comfortable. It was clean and tidy. I'll come again.

The seats are appalling as is the space between the rows, this theatre badly needs an upgrade.

I like to support the Arts Theatre's programmes. With comfortable seats and volunteers on hand to help with seating, drinks etc it is a pleasant way to spend an evening.

I had an excellent experience here, helpful staff, entertaining and enthusiastic cast, brilliant performance of The Little Shop of Horrors.

Saw the Addams Family musical and loved it!
The venue was pretty good, slightly outdated but still comfortable and had a good vibe to it
the snack and drink options were a bit thin, but the venue itself is nice, no complaints there

Seats are wide enough for your butt, but the distance between each person is absolutely awful. I ended up with cramps in my shoulders trying not to touch the person next to me. No leg room to pass by and couldn't see parts of the stage due to the seats being flat.

Saw Betty Blue Eyes before Covid changed everything, finally made it back to see Sweet Road, too long and boring sadly and perhaps a few others thought the same as some did walk out. Looking forward to the final production of the year that will hopefully redeem things. 3/5
. HOWEVER, 5***** for the staff. It seems there has been a shift in front management, the new and very charming young lady in charge really added to the atmosphere not only being insightful, knowledgable, accomodating and funny but it is clear the others working for/with her are enjoying doing so. Nice little theatre, perhaps has had painting done to make it look less old.

Always good to support local theatre but chairs are to close together. Will say again. Chairs to close together

It's not the Theatre but the production. The Pitmen Painters, went on too long and our friends (on complimentary tickets) left at half time. Covid cancelled Betty Blue Eyes for us and we'd have loved that to be offered again rather than extra tickets for the current show. We've been members for years but will choose a show we might be interested in next year and book for that single one. Please put on some of the well loved theatre shows. The actors are good, the set is good but the witty, funny or mystery shows draw crowds. I'm hoping the last offering for the year is delightful. ‍️

Great theatre with convenient off street parking almost next door at $8 for the entire night. Went early and had a good meal on the corner of the street at the Saracens Head Hotel. Excellent evening all round & the show, Into The Woods, was fantastic!

They put on amazing productions with top-notch stage quality. Evita, Today, I witnessed Into the woods. Although the actors were excellent, it was unfortunate to see that some of the scenery screens would not function. The scenography did not live up to the high calibre of the actors. Nevertheless, the overall production was outstanding. The music is fantastic!

Last week saw the latest in a long line of excellent productions over the years, Betty Blue Eyes. The theatre is home to a few theatre companies. Seats comfortable but the angle could be better for a great view from every seat.still enjoy going there though and it is licensed!

So enjoyed Kinky Boots. The actors where fabulous. The theatre was comfortable and the sound system was just right. Thanks to the management and staff.

Lovely intimate venue with an old fashion homely feel. We saw a lovely musical play - well done to all concerned!

Reasonable theater but very little leg room.
Slope not steep enough. I only saw 2thirds of the stage due to a tall person sitting in front of me. Very cramped.

The theatre for its age is very enjoyable, every time we have been there we have had good vantage points.

Extremely easy to get to. Seating as desired and stage always within sight range. Very busy and wine to drink before going in. Top theatre.
