The Peterborough Players enriches the human experience by producing quality live professional theatre, developing and training theatre artists, and offering New Hampshire a wide variety of performing arts events.
Founded in 1933, the Players is a fully professional Equity theatre in an unexpected setting -- a historic barn, 3 miles outside of downtown Peterborough, NH. The theatre offers a traditional summer season from June through September and has recently added a three-play winter season, augmented by opera and theatre on screen including The Met: Live in HD opera series and plays from London’s National Theatre.
For nine decades the Players has produced professional theatre at a level of quality that has gained the theatre a significant national reputation that has been recognized in major national publications such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal."American summer repertory theater at its most accomplished" – Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal.
The theatre produces a challenging repertoire ranging from the classics of world literature to the best of contemporary theatre, premieres, and recently an annual selection from the rich canon of the American Musical Theatre.
