Content Warnings

Our Theatre Approach

At Progress Theatre, we present a diverse mix of productions — from light-hearted to edgy and thought-provoking. Some shows explore challenging themes or include strong language, violence, or adult content.

What to Expect

We believe live theatre should surprise and inspire. Performances may at times be intense or emotionally powerful, and certain effects or themes could be distressing to some audiences.

Audience Care

We welcome everyone and want you to feel prepared. Content warnings are available to help you make informed choices for yourself and your group, including those with additional needs.

If there are specific themes you are concerned about, you can email [email protected] to find out more about the content of a production.
