"What a fantastic evening we had on Friday 21 Nov 2025. Wholehearted compliments to the actors, particlulary the leads in 'Waiting for God'. We look forward to each show and have attended most in the last few years. But this was special. There was a distinct murmur when the show finished asking 'is it already over, it went so quickly'. My cheekbones are still recovering from the laughter. This venue is such a great asset to Ipswich, the actors dedicated and professional. We send all our thanks to all participants with a special mention to the lead actress and actor. Together their magic on stage was perfect!. Can't wait for the next show."

"Waiting for God was probably the best show we have attended at Ipswich Little Theatre. The two main actors were brilliant. We laughed throughout the show."
