Thoroughly enjoyed the single person performance by Donna Butt of Teresa's Creed. Depicting rigours of outport life in the early post confederation era. Venue exceptionally well suited.

Recommended by a Newfoundlander co-worker as a must-see on our visit to The Rock...The Trinity Pageant far exceeded our expectations! Brilliant!

Deb Lindsey

We saw Tidy Package last night. What a poignant, funny show about life in Newfoundland families, post fishery decline! Great acting and directing.

David T. Harnett

What a great time!! The show was entertaining, the people nice, the scenery is awesome, overall a fantastic experience!!

Brandon Douglas Wilkinson

Lived in Newfoundland for 2 years, and the play we saw at the Parrish, was one of our favorite memories!!

Andrew Power

Nice intimate place. All seats are good.

Phil Holwell

What a laugh

Tina Barton

It will be a experience I will never forget. Travel around the community while a play is preformed in each place we stop. It is worth the money and the time to see.

Michael Stensby

Great theater performances by a talented group!

Denys Zlobin

Go see their play

Karen MacEwan

In true Newfoundland spirit, they pull in the crowd for participation sharing their culture & stories. A MUST SEE for when you're in St John's.

Kimberly Yetman Dawson

We all had a great time at rising tide theatre Shenanigans show with Rum Raggeds Mark Manning and Aaron Collis.

Dennis Peters

Great to see live music and theatre again. A fun show!

Ellen Worling

Fabulous local theatre company.

Lindsay Rous

We loved the pageant. The actors were animated and excited and the play was funny. It really have you a good idea about the history of the area. You walked around from scene to scene, seeing the beautiful town of Trinity.

Wendy Orton

Small, intimate, fun story (Blue Castle), length of show good (90 minutes) actors talented, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, clean washrooms

Kevin Ross

Went on the Pageant walk on Saturday. It was excellent! Then we attended the Dinner Theatre on Saturday night... it was a lot of fun and laughs. We had a great time!!!

Great venue

Emily Thompson

If I could give 0 stars I would. Extremely disappointing experience. We were sold tickets for a show on Tuesday* night. We came in from out of town to see a performance as the Rising Tide Theatre comes highly recommended. We were excited, pre-booked for Tuesday and waited outside the Parish Hall for the show to start. Turns out, we were sold tickets for Wednesday. Upon entering Rising Tide Theatre to discuss this with staff (as we know mistakes can happen) , staff were VERY rude and unaccommodating. When asked what would happen under these circumstances as we were leaving town and would miss the show, she stated “We don’t offer anything in return 48 hours before the show starts although we sold them to you in that time frame”. Becoming increasingly rude, she blatantly said , “Nothing will happen next! Nobody will be sitting in those seats you bought. As a matter of fact, the show isn’t even sold out”. I couldn’t help but wonder, what was our money paying for? Long story short, these people kept over $100 for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and refused to give us a credit or refund. Very unprofessional and overall rude.

Peter Toy

Good pageant but the play we saw was super boring. It was called something Moon and the actors just sat on chairs and delivered their dialogue.

Brent

a uniquely entertaining and educational outdoor play that meanders through this pretty town. The cast are terrific and the setting is breathtaking.

John Mackey

Great little theatre and an outstanding performance

Corey Pollock

Really impressed by the actors/actresses at the Rising Tide theater. Highly suggest the pageant if you’re in town. It’s a great way to tour the town and learn some history

Robert Thurston

Excellent performance and wonderful venue. Theatre is right on the ocean side.

PAUL BOURGEOIS

Great dinner and amazing show

Cam Winter

Acting was very good. Biggest complaint was difficulty understanding the accent esp when the blonde actor spoke quickly. We saw "A Tidy Package."

Wanda Learning

Great show! So much talent! I'll never look at Andrew Furey the same again!

Ford Allen

The Pageant and Shenanigans on Saturday were great shows. The actors/musicians are very talented. Donna Butt knows how to put together entertaining performances!

Tracey Perry

ella codner

It was hilarious...what a fun night...

Brian Johnston

A reasonable performance from a troupe of young folks trying their best to uphold traditional roots and music. Ms. Butt was as gracious a host as ever, but this show needs some modernizing. Some of the performers even seemed to lack motivation and looked tired. Most unfortunate as several of them appear to have untapped talent. Perhaps part of that is due to the average age of the audience hovering around 60 years. Again, a modernization would go a long way here. The food was, I'm sorry hut I have to say it, just terrible. Grey flavourless beef, wayyyy over-cooked fish, and veg accompaniments that surely were made the day before. You can do better than this folks. I do have to acknowledge the service level of the catering staff which was impressive, with both youthful and senior helpers very efficient, mannerly, and as non-intrusive as the tight seating permits. Lots of potential here, but a makeover is way overdue.

Christine Bugler

Great show, practicing social distancing and placing everyone in their bubbles when seating.

Kevin Rowlands
