Behind the Scenes with Progressive Players @ Little Theatre Gateshead
2-4 Saltwell View, Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, NE8 4JS
The Little Theatre Gateshead is the home of the Progressive Players. It was funded by the Dodds Sisters who lived in Low Fell, Gateshead, as a permanent home for the group. The Progressive Players is an amateur community theatre group who put on ten shows a year. The theatre seats 185 people and is run entirely by volunteers. It has a coffee lounge and bar, extensive wardrobe and props departments as well as a wonderful archive which charts the history of the group from humble beginnings in 1920 to the present day. In 2021 the theatre building was extended to include a whole new floor which houses a new studio/rehearsal space. Tour the areas of the theatre which the public never normally see and hear about the fascinating history of the building and the resident theatre company. Our extensive archive will also be available to view- we have some amazing new discoveries!
