Noises Off
by Michael Frayn "The funniest farce ever written!" - The New York Post The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is delighted to open our brand new location with this gloriously funny celebration of life in the theatre! Noises Off follows the on-and off-stage antics of an acting troupe as they stumble from bumbling dress rehearsal to disastrous closing night. Everything that can go wrong does, as actors desperately try to hang on to their lines, their performances and the furniture. Add a slippery plate of sardines and many slamming doors, and you have the most hilarious backstage farce ever written. Mondays - Saturdays 7:30pm, Monday 2:00pm
Orchestra: $27, 1st Row Balcony: $22, 2nd Row Balcony: $15 Special Student Rush tickets: $17 (Best available - one hour prior to show. Cash only) TALKBACKS - There will be a post-show discussion and Q & A with cast and crew Wed, June 26th July 3 - July 13 (special performance July 4)
Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure
by Steven Dietz Winner of the 2007 Edgar Award for Best Mystery Play The world's greatest detective has seemingly reached the end of his remarkable career when a case presents itself that is too tempting to ignore. With his trusted companion, Doctor Watson, at his side, Sherlock Holmes pursues first the case, and then the affections of the beautiful Irene Adler—and in doing so, marches right into the lair of his longtime adversary, that malevolent genius of crime: Professor Moriarty. In this spirited, fast-moving and thoroughly theatrical adaptation, Dietz presents Holmes at the height of his powers—surrounded by all the elements that fans of his exploits have come to expect: danger, intrigue, wit, humor and surprise. Mondays - Saturdays 7:30pm, Monday 2:00pm - special July 4th performance at 3 pm. Plenty of time to see the fireworks!
Orchestra: $27, 1st Row Balcony: $22, 2nd Row Balcony: $15 Special Student Rush tickets: $17 (Best available - one hour prior to show. Cash only) TALKBACKS - There will be a post-show discussion and Q & A with cast and crew Wed, July 10th July 17 - July 27
Barefoot in the Park
by Neil Simon Neil Simon’s biggest Broadway hit! This light-hearted romance between a straight-laced lawyer and an impetuous free spirit begins where most romantic comedies end – with the marriage! Set in Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, it opens with newlyweds Paul and Corie moving into their fifth-floor walkup apartment. Adjusting to married life soon becomes complicated by a leaking skylight, the appearance of her mother, an eccentric neighbor, and all those stairs! Will solving their problems be as simple as taking a barefooted walk in the park? Mondays - Saturdays 7:30pm, Monday 2:00pm
Orchestra: $27, 1st Row Balcony: $22, 2nd Row Balcony: $15 Special Student Rush tickets: $17 (Best available - one hour prior to show. Cash only) TALKBACKS - There will be a post-show discussion and Q & A with cast and crew Wed, July 24th July 31 - August 10

The Fantasticks
Music by Harvey Schmidt, book and lyrics by Tom Jones. The World's Longest Running Musical “Try to Remember” when this delightful musical was not entrancing theatergoers around the world. A NY institution which opened in 1960 and is playing there still, it is a fable of “a boy, a girl, two fathers and a wall”.
