Saw David Mamet's "Glen Garry Glen Ross" on our first visit to Merrimack Rep. A wonderful production in a great theater space. It rivals theater productions seen in Boston and NYC at a fraction of the price, and so easy to access from western and northern suburbs. We will definitely attend in the future.

David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross is an insightful play on the over ambitious tendencies business people. MRT's handling was well crafted with a different take on Shelley (played by Jack Lemon in the movie), making him less pathetic and more real. Shelley became a man who had been beaten up and had given in a bit, to his demise. The... More

I grew up in Lowell and have been to the theater many times. Seats are a little tight but shows have been excellent and all seats have a great view.

The MRT offers great entertainment and ultural variety for those discouraged by Boston prices and traffic. The small and intimate setting gives you a rare opportunity to feel like you are part of the show and really get into the performance.

Been a member for 30+ years - always great sets and acting. Some plays have been poor choices. Newly remodeled with new seats - very comfortable.

A wonderful venue in the land north of Boston. Unexpected culture with easy parking. Is there such a thing? Yep, in Lowell. Between the Memorial Hall and the Rep theatre, you've got it all. While here be sure to visit the Thai restaurant across the street.

We have now seen several different productions here, the most recent in the newly renovated theatre, and all have been just exceptional, such that we have returned to see the same production days later!!!

Accoustics appear to be great. We sat on aisle seat row E and heard everything perfectly. We will had not been to this theater, ever! So, being there after they had completed their renovation was quite a treat. They have an interesting line up this year. The actors are extremely professional as is the set design and lighting.... this is... More

If there is a play or other attraction that is of interest to you - do be sure to attend. However, I would suggest that you exercise caution in the city at night. Parking is less than optimum.
