My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful play, From Stage to Screen on Saturday, May 24,2014. This was our first time visiting this theater. We loved the show and such talented singers and dancers; the seats are so comfortable and the theater is just lovely. We'll definitely come back.
This Westerly theater has earned the good reputation it deserves and the support of the community. Summer residents list this as one of the reasons they come to Westerly. The shows are mainly proven standards that continue to delight.
We have seen South Pacific on Broadway and was not expecting the same experience at the Granite. However, with the small theatre and stage at the Granite, the performance was very entertaining and was enjoyed by our group of 4.
A wonderful experience overall - the historic building is lovely, the seats are comfortable, it's air conditioned and there isn't a bad seat in the house. Most importantly, the local casts provide very solid and professional entertainment for a real bargain price. In fairness, most of the plays they perform aren't your well-known Broadway hits, they are usually farcical comedies - some are hilarious, some are silly, but the sets and staging are always well done and the shows very enjoyable. Once or twice a year they undertake a more well-known show, this year it will be Sound of Music. Based on prior years' shows, I expect it will be wonderful - for a small theatre, using local talent, they do an outstanding job with the musicals rivaling shows we've see at the much more expensive Theatre by the Sea in Matunuck. We are so fortunate to have this theatre in Westerly!
Went to see Boeing, Boeing two weeks ago and it was a very entertaining performance in a very nice restored facility
Better than an NY off off broadway. Viating from NY we are always happy to see theatre. This classic domain offered incredible talent.
Westerly, RI has a strong community theater tradition and this theater is across the road from Olmsted designed park and beautiful library.
this small theater has had some woderful plays over the years. It is small and therefore very homey and friendly. Every seat is a good seat and the actors they bring in are top notch. Just a great little theater.
This little theatre was renovated but kept it's historic colonial look. The theatre offers several plays each year and all are so well done! It's a lovely little theatre and every show is special and enjoyable!
This is a charming theatre with superb performances. The cast is always at a professional level. It seems to me their specialty is bedroom farces, and they do them so they are hysterically funny. There are never any actors that don't fit, or lines poorly delivered. The lobby of the theatre has a little wine bar and the parking is very easy.
