Hickory Community Theatre Reviews

Best plays around. Great local actors and actresses. Very friendly people who run the theatre. Great time for all.

Today we went to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Such a fun play. Great actors. Always have a wonderful time at the Hickory community theater!

Hickory Community Theatre is one of the icons of the city of Hickory what wants to do used to be the city hall now you can go in and order a drink from the Vault that was used to hold the cities money the groups that are heading up the Arts and Hickory or wonderful establishment they're really doing a great job of converting the theater into what will be a wonderful additive to Hickory art culture

A real asset to the Hickory community...local talent beyond compare!

Great place to see a performance! We have some fabulous talent in Catawba County. Come out and support the arts!

Our town is fortunate to have a vibrant community theatre program and a very nice downtown building to house it. I love going to live theatre productions there.

I love going here! So much talent in our area! Everyone needs to go see a play or a musical!! Awesome stuff!

Don't miss the IMPROV GROUP this weekend (Oct. 5 and 6) at HCT...Friday and Saturday night. This will be the third time I've seen them in the intimate Fireman's Kitchen and they are a riot! So much fun, so much laughter. They are good for the soul...and your spirit. Side-splitting laughter, lots of talent, very "off the cuff", pull a few people from the audience...just plain F-U-N.

Always incredible performances by the best talent in the area!

Very professional theater, dreamgirls was top notch, great performance.

The play selection is very good. The actors for the play I saw were top notch.

Fantastic! The theater is so pretty. The performance of Newsies was AWESOME! We thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have been to 3 venues at HCT 2 of which were excellent and one totally sucked, that being, "You I can't hear you when the water is running". The cast read their lines in a nervous and unprofessional manner. We had to leave halfway through.

Such a wonderful little theater with an old time feel.

Beautiful venue. Saw a wonderful version of The Lion King Jr. Top notch talent including lighting, props and especially the abilities of the young stars.

Rag time was a seller performance. Great singing! Great performing!

The theater building is nicely updated

Had a wonderful time at the Matilda play! Great family time!

Great show! "The Newsies" That Medda was a sight to see! Gorgeous woman!

sometimes I dont feel very welcome with customer service, although it's very clean and a great environment for me friends, family, ect. to have a great time and make memories

We were very impressed with the 9/6/19 performance of Hair on the main stage of HCT. The cast and crew had loads of energy and passion for their performances. The talent presented was just outstanding! It speaks highly of this little community theatre that it can bring top notch directors in for these performances. I'm also glad that the sensitive nature of this particular musical did not hinder the theatre from bringing it to the public . Art has the ability to broaden the mind and teach one to tolerate other points of view. This musical had an over arching theme of patriotism and creative individualism which has shaped this country thus far. Don't miss this one!

If you love the arts, great young talent, an inexpensive time and support to the local community this is the place to be.

So much fun watching Mama Mia. My wife and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the talent!

Really cool little place! I caught a production of Tolkien's The Hobbit. I wasn't a huge fan of the alcohol sales but other than that this place is nice. Parking no issue. Pretty part of Hickory.

I was very surprised to see what a beautiful theater they have. It's small so it's very cozy and every seat is a good one. We saw "the Lion King Jr" and it was a wonderfully professional show with outstanding sets, costumes and actors and actresses. Well done!!!

Really enjoy performances, historical building is nice.

Great venue with an excellent variety of top-quality shows.

Just saw Lion King with our grandson, wonderful afternoon, thanks Hickory Community Theatre.

Place is nice, disappointed it wasn't a Christmas program, just jazz, not my kind of music

I love this theater. Very intimate with great acoustics. We have always loved Momma Mia. We saw it on Broadway, twice at Bluementhol, and the movie too many times to count. My Wife and I enjoyed the performance last Saturday 5/25/19 more than any of those. The acting was great. The minor characters smiled all the time. All the main characters were great. Sofie was amazing. the orchestra was great. Sofies's friends were great. Sorry, I don't know names. One of the back up chorus ladies always attracted my attention because of her infectious smile. She wore white capri pants most of the time. Just to show how important all actors are to the total package. We will attend more at this wonderful Little Theater. Thanks to all the actors, orchestra, stage hands and all others who made this a great performance.

Their vision of excellence in community theatre is realised from the top down, with the excellent staff drawing on superior local talent!

This is a very quaint place with a strong community feel. The seats are comfy, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the shows are both great and easily seen from any seat.

Good comedy show. Theater is small but the seats and view are very good.

Walked by playing Pokemon Go and desperately wished I could stroll in and audition for something

I have seen several shows at the many comm. theatres in Hickory, Hudson and Lenoir. There is a great Children's Theatre in Salisbury called the Norvell. They put on 5 to 6 shows a year and everyone is under 18 but the director I have been told. The back stage, lights and actors are all young people. Newton/Conover has a youth group theatre also and there is a New Art Ballet group from there that also does ballets for the public. I also under stand that Sparta has a youth theatre group. Have fun exploring all there is to see in live theatre around Hickory.

We had such a fantastic time here and will definitely come back!

Great show. Beautiful theater, very comfortable seating.

HCT offers quality shows and incredible local talent! I would highly recommend seeing and/or volunteering for shows at this wonderful community asset!

I enjoyed the play everyone was great very friendly environment. Would encourage all to go!

Very good play nice clean venue! Pleasant employees!

Very enjoyable. Good performances by the whole cast. Its obvious they do this because they love it.

All the reviews posted for HCT are a year or more old except one. I have no doubt they could make a better effort to represent their city. Wondering why are people are allowed to eat from noisy, rattling packages during the play? The staff is very friendly. The facility is nice. The acting was the only issue. Local talent can be wonderful but the play I saw did not rank with a High School play.

Attended Rocky horror picture show that my granddaughter was part of and it was a great performance.

My wife and I were very impressed and had a delightful time seeing The Hobbit here. Staff are friendly and helpful. They have a fair selection of refreshments, and there are several good restaurants nearby for pre-show dining. I was particularly impressed by how clean and nice the building is, especially considering its age. I often have problems in similar buildings because of a mold allergy, but no such issue here. The theatre itself is clean, well-maintained, and cozy. Seats were comfortable enough to sit in for a couple hours at a time. The passion of both cast and crew is evident in their work, and I'm glad to know we have an establishment like this in our community.

The main stage plays are amazing but skip the fireman's kitchen ones if your going to have plays with little or no production the actors and the play should be magnificent not a snooze fest. Nevertheless I am very impressed with staff, volunteers and local actors.

This really us the place to relax and enjoy quality entertainment and a magical experience

Enjoyed a recent performance of "Elf." The volunteers were helpful and all smiles.

Very nice venue for a production. There is not a bad seat in the house. Friendly folks greet you when you visit.

Local theater at it's best. All seats are good and the selection of plays is usually quite good.

We attended a fundraiser tonight.We had fun!Thank you so much!

My daughter participated in the Rug Bugs program and she had a wonderful time. She told me that it was one of her favorite experiences of all time!!

Small, intimate theater experience but with great acoustics!

Some liberties were taken with scriptures will definitely make me reread what kind of man Noah was but overall great

Always quality live theater... A true asset to our area.

The best performance of Hair that I have ever seen bar none! The cast and crew were amazing! What a great show to take us back to the 60s!
