What a beautiful little theatre. Great performance seen The Bishop of Dibbley – Thoroughly enjoyed. They obviously run a tight ship here and the overall atmosphere is one of a friendly and welcoming environment. Amateur theatre doesn’t get much better in this little gem of a theatre.
Gavin Eagleton-Muir
A little gem right here in Gateshead. A warm welcome from the staff as we entered – clean, tidy and well presented little theatre and as a local I’ve no idea why I haven’t visited more frequently. The bar is well managed and stocked with reasonable pricing and the theatre itself is a good size, comfortable and with decent leg room.
John Hewitt
Beautiful venue, with superb staff and an excellent atmosphere. Production was excellent, staff were very warm and welcoming a brilliant all around experience. A hidden gem in Gateshead.
House of Kane
Amazing theatre that has some really well written and performed shows. Great selection of food and snacks for pre show and interval. Staff are all pleasant and can’t do enough for you. Parking around the venue can be a squeeze but we have never struggled.

David Mills
A superb, little, local theatre right next to Saltwell Park. Friendly staff; a great place to spend an evening of entertainment.
Michael Brown
We visited the Little Theatre last night to see the play Canoeing For Beginners. It was honestly the best play we have seen. The storyline was gripping and at the same time very witty. The cast were amazing and so professional. We were left wondering how the excellent Matthew Melone played two parts without us knowing how he managed to be in more than one place at a time. What brilliant acting. Well done everyone.
