“My daughter and I have been to multiple productions put on by East End and they never disappoint. The actors are talented, the costumes and sets are beautiful, and we’re always entertained. We’ve also done private piano lessons through them and my daughter can now read music and play. She loved her instructor and looked forward to each session. Everything they do is wonderful, from their shows to their lessons to their pumpkin patch fundraiser. 5 stars is truly deserved.”

“I have worked with many theater companies and none have made me feel more at home than East End. They appreciate and care about every one of their performers and have one of the most accepting and wonderful environments to be in. The crew is fantastic and kind and they run a very professional company. A company who cares about its actors and listens to them. A company that is dedicated to make wonderful productions and showcase the talent of Rhode Island. Every production is better than the last because they are also dedicated to grow as a company and become even better than they are. Every show I do with them hold lifelong happy memories. The time I’ve had at East End has been wonderful and I have found my second family with them. I will be staying with East End for years to come :)”

“I cannot say enough about the East End Theater company. My daughter was interested in exploring Theater, and signed up up for the First Act production of Frozen Kids. She was cast as Elsa, and learned so much throughout the process. Each week, she came home excited about the rehearsals, from the line reading, the dancing and singing, costumes, mikes, and Tech week, she loved it all. The Directors and DIT’s (Directors in Training) were so kind, patient, and fun to work with. The company has an extremely organized drop off and pick up procedure. They kept families up to date on any changes, and were responsive to questions. And to top it all off, she became good friends with the girl cast as Anna. So she’s leaving her first Theater experience with confidence, new friends, and awesome memories of the entire experience. As she put it, she’s got the Theater bug now, and can’t wait to do more shows!”

“Best experience I’ve ever had! Made the most amazing friends and have loved every single show they have ever done.”

“I have worked with dozens of theater companies all over New England and none of them could compare. East End is one of the most professional and welcoming theater groups I have ever worked with. The entire team behind the scenes work tirelessly to make sure that everyone looks clean and beautiful for their productions. Their kind and friendly nature creates a warm environment for people with any kind of theatrical background to be comfortable and grow with the craft. The directing team is magnificent and brings some thing special to every show. The costumes never disappoint with their Broadway like glitz and glam. I seriously could not recommend this theater company enough. If you have the opportunity to even audition, you should take it and feel the magic that we all do.”

— AIMEE M.

“This was the first company that I’ve worked with since I stopped doing shows about four years ago. I did not know anyone here when first auditioning, not even the crew. I have never had more fun while putting together a production and I have never felt more comfortable and accepted anywhere before. This company was very hard working, educational and professional. I will definitely be returning and I would suggest this company to anyone that would like to make their debut, find a new company or get back on stage after awhile of not doing any productions. Loved Shrek the Musical, loved the cast and loved the director and the other crew!!”

— SOPHIA J.

“An amazing theatre company who not only encourages hard work and determination but also cares deeply about their kids. Highly recommended!”
