Little Theatre of Norfolk — Attraction in Norfolk

As an avid supporter of local arts and theatre, my experience at the Little Theatre of Norfolk was nothing short of exceptional. This quaint and charming venue is a testament to the vibrant artistic spirit thriving in our community.

From the moment I stepped into the theatre, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and creativity. The staff and volunteers were not only welcoming but also exuded a passion for the arts that was truly infectious. Their dedication to fostering a sense of community and inclusivity is commendable.

The production I had the pleasure of attending was brilliantly executed. The actors, many of whom are burgeoning local talents, delivered performances that were both powerful and nuanced, demonstrating a level of professionalism and dedication that one would expect to see on much larger stages. The direction was innovative, and the use of space and lighting was ingenious, creating an immersive experience that left me and the audience captivated.

What makes the Little Theatre of Norfolk stand out is its commitment to presenting a diverse range of plays that not only entertain but also challenge and provoke thought. Their productions often explore themes that resonate deeply with our community, reflecting the struggles, joys, and complexities of our contemporary society. This aligns beautifully with the theatre’s mission to not just entertain, but to enlighten and inspire dialogue and understanding.

In a world where commercialism often overshadows the raw essence of art, the Little Theatre of Norfolk remains a beacon of genuine artistic expression and community engagement. It’s a place where the stories told are not just heard but felt, leaving a lasting impact on its audience.

I left the theatre feeling not just entertained, but enriched – a testament to the transformative power of great art. The Little Theatre of Norfolk is more than just a venue; it’s a vital part of our community’s cultural fabric. I look forward to returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable...

Selfish organization that only cares about revenue - even at the expense of its volunteers. Young women, BIPOC, and children are not safe here.

They have also: • Cast a white person as the lead in 21 Chump Street (2024) • Encouraged folks that are not Latine/x or even a POC at all to audition for "In The Heights," which they are attempting to produce this upcoming Spring (2025-26) • When someone reported an actor who is Black as a predator, the theater immediately removed them from the show. However, when an actor who is White was reported as a predator, the theater continued to cast him and only removed him when the victim started harassing the theater's board members. • When I reported sexual harassment by a board member to the "Care Committee," they asked ChatGPT to write me a response. When I called them out on handling the investigation improperly, they threw out the excuse that they are "volunteers," hoping to escape accountability for misconduct.

LTN builds a very unsafe community for local thespians, and they will do anything to keep victims quiet so they can keep putting on shows.

Sure, some of their shows look great! But it's all at the expense of its volunteers who actually make the...

I'm used to the local theater here in Fredericksburg Virginia. It's a very large theater dinner style theater with tons of room, and plenty of seating that's extremely comfortable. This was the opposite. The folks here very nice let me say that first off. The seating is pretty cramped. I think I counted that there may be 77 or 88 seats. That includes some benches that are set up against the back wall. And the stage itself is so tiny. I can see why they only had eight actors in the entire play. More would not have fit. That being said we were there to see Little shop of horrors. The singing was amazing. I don't know that I would go all the way back to Norfolk to see another play at this place but it was interesting. also they have what's called a green room which is basically the lounge. The room itself is eclectic and there's comfortable seating. However, if you don't have cash you are SOL. Because even though it's 2019, they only take cash so if you're thirsty or want a tiny snack (think Oreos and granola bars), I guess bring your own? Or make sure...
