Construction is Complete!

Since raising the curtain for the first time in 2004, The Winnipesaukee Playhouse has quickly become a cultural gem of the Lakes Region garnering community support and critical acclaim and proving year-round opportunities for locals and visitors alike.   Its award-winning productions and educational programs have made the Playhouse a destination in New Hampshire. The current intimate Off-Broadway style theatre, which seats 84, is no longer able to meet the increasing demand for tickets.   Now, The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is SETTING THE STAGE FOR OUR FUTURE! After 9 years in operation, The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is an an exciting cross-roads.  Construction is underway on a new state-of-the-art theatre on an idyllic campus in Meredith NH.  The construction project will be completed this spring and doors will open to the public in June of 2013.  The space will seat 194 and will also house classroom, administrative, lobby, dressing room and technical spaces lacking at the current location. There are many exciting ways you can get involved. If you'd like to find out more, please contact executive director, Bryan Halperin.  [email protected]

SEATS FOR SUCCESS

Picture
Thanks to fantastic community support, the Lakes Region of New Hampshire has now successfully built a one-of-a-kind performing arts campus.  We are dedicated to bringing you the best professional and community theatre all year round - year after year.  

As our Capital Campaign heads towards a grand finale, your generous $1,000 donation will enable you to sponsor a seat in one of New Hampshire’s finest new theatres!  Immortalize your support by having your (or a loved one’s) name permanently engraved on one or more of our 200 seats.

All new donations from now to the close of the campaign on Labor Day will be matched by each of two generous supporters. So for each new $1,000 you donate, The Winnipesaukee Playhouse will receive $3,000.  From now to the close of the campaign, donations of any size will be double matched.  

Make your final capital campaign donation now, then sit back and enjoy the opening season YOUR generosity and community spirit has made possible.

Says Van McLeod, NH Commissioner for Cultural Resources, "The opportunity The Winni Playhouse has in Meredith is enormous and unique. No other theatre in the State has the physical resources on one site and the campus atmosphere will enhance the Playhouse's ability to provide not only first rate performances but continue to expand the educational component which is a major benefit to the greater Lakes Region community. The Lakes Region is a destination, and the Playhouse campus will become a top destination in itself and help draw people from all over to central New Hampshire. Their plans are visionary and will make a real difference in the lives of people who live here and visit here."
