    Amazing! The play we watched was very good! "Murder for Two" at first I was wondering how they could make a play with only two people, but it was fantastic, hilarious, and engaging. The play house was also set up very nice, the seats were comfortable and slightly far apart because of Covid. And getting the tickets was very easy and the people ushering us in were very nice. Highly recommend coming here to watch a play!

    I don't usually write reviews on non-food establishments, but had to give a shoutout to this little playhouse in Ivoryton! Very nice venue small, and great ambiance! We saw THE BELLS OF DUBLIN PART II: THE CAROL OF THE BELLS. Very funny and got all of us in the Christmas spirit!

    A small theatre with…read moresome big shows This is the other Goodspeed, not the popular one in Haddam but the little one in Chester that no one hears about. I actually like this one much better. It was opened in 1984 and was an abandoned factory. Named after the famous actress Norma Terris, it is my absolutely favorite place to see a show. I've seen dozens of productions here over the years and every one has been great. It's purpose is to nurture emerging artists and get shows ready for the "big time". So that means you get to see some great improvisation and extremely personal performances. To call Goodspeed-at-Chester intimate would be an exaggeration. It only holds 200 people and if you get a front row seat you can see, hear and smell the actors and actresses up close. You can experience every twitch, every look, every subtle movement. You can see them sweat, spit when they talk and curse under their breaths when they make a mistake. The intimacy of the theatre makes you one with the show. I've had the performers hug, kiss and shake my hands after the shows and on occasion even during the shows. In this place you don't just watch the performance but you are part of it. It's that close. No supercilious arrogance here, after it is over the performers frequently mingle with the crowd and go down the street to the Pattaconk for something to eat. A chance to talk and socialize. Not the grandest, not the most elegant and certainly not the biggest. But my favorite place in the whole world to see a show.

    Just attended a performance of The Complicated Woman at the theater. An incredible performance by…read morethe full cast. Songs were amazing and the cast did a great job with them. An amazing story, well acted, and proved to be thoroughly enjoyable making for a great night at the theater. A must go see show as well as supporting a great heater.
