Portsmouth Little Theatre Reviews

     Always a great experience!!!

     Wonderful production of “12 Angry Women”, we thought the cast was great. It was serious and funny in all the right parts. Will definitely be back to watch more shows. We had a wonderful time!

     Well casted. Saw opening and closing nights. Best one that I’ve attended.

   Other than a hard time hearing some of the dialogue, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

   The staff is great, so welcoming and helpful.

   Loved the show, great performance,

     Love this theater!

   Very suspenseful, time went by fast. The cast kept my attention the whole way through and they were amazing.

   Acting was very good. Really enjoyed the show

   Very good play and commend the actors for their hard work.

   I had a wonderful time at PLT Oct 18, 2024!! It was a great mystery play! These actors are very good. Season tickets are still available and if you get them before the next performance, you will still save money!

   I thought that Leigh Ann Smith did a great job, but it seems that the male characters couldn't get their timing right and did not enunciate, leading to some general uncertainty about what was going on. I've seen many plays at PLT, and unfortunately, this was my last favorite by far.

   Very talented kids!

   Loved it. Excellent acting and set and costumes! Language is a barrier for some however the nature of the subject that would be expected!

   Awesome, loved the show

   This was absolutely wonderful!!! I have lived here for five years and have never visited this little gem. I mean it was incredible. I will be back!

   One of the best shows hands down..all of the actors were incredible. The stage set was phenomenal. Big shout out to kelli for her hard work,Todd for his debut as Tommy(who wowed us and last but not least Andy. You have found your place ♥️

   It was great, I can’t believe several of those actors were first time. It was awesome, so glad we got to go!

      This was PHENOMENAL!!! The cast was absolutely AMAZING!!! Andy Dufresne…. beyond talented!!! Red…excellent!!! Brookes, Warden, talent EVERYWHERE on that stage tonight!!! The stage set was perfect for each and every scene, JUST PHENOMENAL!! GREAT JOB cast, crew and to Portsmouth Little Theatre!!! Standing Ovation to all❤️

  It was great!! The cast was excellent and it was evident of the hard work they had put in by t he e quality of their performances.

   It was amazing!

     This was my first visit to the theater here and it was a WONDERFUL experience. As the curtain opened, the set design immediately captivated me, transporting me to the world of the Shank. The acting was amazing! With their commitment to the characters and all of the other theatrical effects that brought the show together, this production is a must-see!!

     This was by far the best

   Such a small theater for such big performances! I found myself reliving the movie as the story played out, but the actors brought the characters more to life than on screen. I heartily enjoyed this showing. FYI, it's a prison story, harsh language and mature subject matter.

       The show was very very good. The director Kelli Riffe did an excellent job. The actors were on point. The storyline followed the original movie to a tee. I will definitely be attending more shows in the future. The props were awesome.

     I had a party of five at the event. The stage and props were fabulous. The actors were excellent in their performances. The number of scene changes would be the only low light. Although, I do not see how the play could have flowed without them. We love attending the shows, and we look forward to attending future plays.

   The set: AMAZING! costumes: WONDERFUL!! They look alike, while remaining individual. The cast: I'm super super super thrilled to see newbies do just SO WELL!!! the direction, the lighting, the stage crue!! And, Andy Dufrense was PERFECT for the role!!

     A great show that I was looking forward to all year did not disappoint. First impressed by an impressive set. Sound was better than normal. Unique in that it was an all male cast and each with an outstanding performance. Was already a big Shawshank fan so I was hanging on every line from each cast member. Cast was well selected to their respective rolls. Quite impressed overall and looking forward to next season at PLT.

   This was a wonderful play. The actors were great. Directing was awesome.

   Stellar performance last night! A vivid rendition of the movie version with a few twists. The rain was incredible. Masterful touch to the authenticity of the show. Bravo to all the actors. They fit their character extremely well. Will definitely be coming back to this quaint little house for the arts.

   5 stars!!! Absolutely amazing work by all! The set was awesome and the actors were outstanding. Kelli and Erin out did themselves on this one! Great job!!

   Awesome, loved the show

   Amazing show, all the hard work by cast and crew definitely paid off! Highly looking forward to next years shows, this years has been phenomenal!!

   Excellent production, except for the obvious being too many blackouts, but frankly I’m not sure how you would remedy it.

   Happy to support our community and proud of the excellent offerings from the PLT!

   Excellent!!! I smiled and laughed the whole time. I could tell the cast was having a fun time - which was contagious!

   Loved it.

   This production was great! Great evening of laugh after laugh. All actors/actresses were great! Can’t wait for next event

   The start was different for me..but after intermission things picked up and it really all came together. I never regret a Friday evening spent there.

     I have a great time at Honkey Tonk Hissy Fit show! The actors are truly committed to pleasing the crowd and doing an amazing job. I had a wonderful evening at this show! Parking is easy, tickets are extremely reasonable. Seating is good.

   A very wonderful evening spent.

   We giggled.....a lot! The actors were having a good time, which made the show even more enjoyable;)

   Two thumbs up! Really made us laugh!

   Very good show.

   Enjoyed everything about the experience

   Very fun!

     Loved the talent. Accents,jokes and detail ....so so funny 🤣😂😂😂😂 They really put effort in their parts!!

       This show was fantastic!!! Director. Eva Martin put together a fantastic cast showcasing every level of talent and humor! From her opening my monologue to the final bows,Portsmouth little theater was in constant laughter all evening. I wish I could give it more than five stars.~ because it’s well-deserved!! Can’t wait to see it again tonight!!!

     Had the BEST time tonight! The comedic timing of this show is bar none just ‘beyond fabulous’ and you will laugh all the way through on this one. Kudos to everyone from the director, to the cast, to the crew. Amazing job all the way around.

   This event was an amazing experience. I was very impressed with the talent of the actors. Each and every one of them. This was my first time going to a play at this venue and it was such a great experience that I can't wait for the next play!

   It was okay. I do get tired of foul language & immoral lifestyles. It would be nice if you did more family oriented theater.

   Wasn’t able to attend.

 WAY TO GO!! EXCELLENT!

 The actors were superb and the story was very good. However, the show lasted over 3 hours, which I think is a bit much for most audiences (the movie weighs in at 2 hours). Also, the subject matter may be a bit dark for some audiences.

   I was unable to attend. I tried to give away the tickets. A couple of people I offered them to had heard from opening night viewers about the language and weren't interested because of that, so the tickets went unused.

 Positively buzzing from a great performance of the play August: Osage County tonight! Seriously, if you are in or around Portsmouth next weekend, go see it. I can’t imagine the show being more well-executed.

   My friends and I had a great time tonight. This may be the best show I have been to there.

   Awesome show, actors were great and the story kept me engaged. The ending where the Aunt reveals her secret, shocking and I kind of felt sorry for the character having to keep the secret all those years. Very well played.

   What a stellar performance! Literally everything about the show put on was phenomenally done. The talent pool from this area is just outstanding! Well done.

   It was good but a very dark version.

   Lovely performance.

   It was not very good. The actors did a fine job, but I have no idea why the had the characters describe what they were doing like we couldn't see it and also they had a narrator sitting right there! The narrator should have been doing the describing. I also would have liked to see set changes. My daughters High School put on a musical tnat was 100 times better tjan than this.

   Wonderful interpretation of the classic Christmas Carol. The cast did a fantastic job.

   Great story brought to life by the wonderful cast. My wife and I enjoyed it thoroughly

   Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol was fantastic! I can't speak more highly of the cast or the crew! What a wonderful time for the whole family!

   Enjoyed the show!

   Loved the different perspective! Great acting!

   Loved it! Everyone did fantastic

   What a great evening. It was a nice experience to use our imaginations just a little more than other performances!

     What a different twist! I truly didn’t know what to expect from this version, but the actors made it an enjoyable evening. Love the talent on the stage! Looking forward to the rest of the season.

   Wonderful take on a Holiday classic!! The cast was fantastic, loved their portrayals, and the directors should be proud of another great PLT performance!

   What a fun night. We really enjoyed this performance! Great job! The actors did a terrific job and the set was great!!

   The amount of talent was incredible! We saw the matinee and was just blown away by not only the perfect pair to play Paul and Annie, but the sheriff had a smaller but great death scene! He’s a natural for sure. The set was just as amazing, and I can’t say enough about all the hard work that these ppl have put into this production. Definitely will be back and will be getting season tickets.

   Loved it!!!!! Really enjoyed the play!!

   Loved. It. Hands down one of my favorites!! Eva KILlED it as Anne Wilkes!

 Misery was great! Unlike Eric Gray I am not a fan of Stephen King movies, but this kept my husband and me focused through the entire play. The acting was stupendous, especially Eva Martin's constantly changing from nice to devious. She was outstanding in her interpretation of an obsessed demented number one fan. PLT plays have shown real quality in the play selection, staging, and acting. We look forward to more top notch shows. Thank you. Regina Craig

   Fantastic show. The entire family enjoyed it. The lady who played Annie had us giggling all throughout the show.

   Good show.

     We had a very good time. Everyone did a fantastic job.

   I loved it!!! Great actors!!!

     Another great play. A little slow between scenes but otherwise you couldn't put together a better cast if you had your pick from Hollywood. I highly recommend there be an encore performance.

      I loved it, was my first time ànd they put on a great show. Would love to go back sometime for another performance. Hats off to staff everyone did a great job. Thank you

   very good I enjoyed the show I will come back.
