Progress Theatre is a self-governing, self-funding theatre group founded in 1946. It is governed and maintained by volunteers. The theatre building is on The Mount, Reading. As a registered charity, they are committed to promoting education in the performing arts as well as producing a programme of varied, interesting and challenging drama to the highest standard.
Their intimate 96 seat venue has a fully licensed bar and is the oldest producing theatre in Reading. There is wheelchair access to the Theatre with a seat for disabled patrons and their carer, as well as a recently-installed hearing loop. Progress has a thriving Youth Theatre and a Writers’ Group, the Friends of Progress.
Progress Theatre enjoys good relations with the Arts and Leisure Department of Reading Borough Council including working with them to stage the Reading Abbey Ruins Open Air Shakespeare in partnership with RBC each summer.
