I have lived her 40 years but just started attending their performances and they are Broadway quality. Saw Fiddler on the Roof and Godspell, both so great. Bravo to this group of performers, directors, producers, musicians, and stage crew. read more

Oh, I cannot say enough good things about the Gateway Players. I have lived in the NE Connecticut area all my life and I had never heard of Gateway players until I did an online search for community theatres near my zip code. From my house in Thompson, CT, the Gateway Players are just ten minutes up Route 131 in Southbridge, MA. How cool! Located inside of a re-purposed old barn, the theatre space is small and intimate. I would estimate that it seats no more than 50 people. Having said that, there's really not a bad seat in the house. When you enter the small auditorium, the floor you cross is actually the stage. Patrons sit on folding chairs arranged in about 4 or 5 rows of raised seating. Because of space limitations, it seems they mostly have to work with single set plays. I'm sure there's a technical term for this, but unfortunately I don't know it. When I went, payment was by cash or check only and you could call ahead to reserve. Whether you are a local or just visiting the Quiet Corner, I highly recommend seeing a show put on in the barn by such a very authentic and talented community theatre group. read more

I love Gateway Players Theatre! Every production I have seen there has been quality entertainment! The theatre is in an old barn that has been turned into a theatre. They do amazing sets for their shows and it is obvious that much time in spent in rehearsals, because all the shows are great! They do about 6 shows a year, comedies, mysteries, dramas, and musicals! They even have a youth theatre! You can make reservations (which are recommended because they often sell out) by calling the theatre directly, or can get them on BrownPaperTickets.com. They don't accept credit cards at the theatre box office, but you can use them if you buy your tickets online! read more
