peterborough players

My yearly trip to New England always includes a visit to this charming, traditional theater. Very historic with modern upgrades. A bit scary trying to drive there in the dark as it has been for over 80 years over a country road deep in the woods. But that's part of the fun experience. Seen many top quality shows there over the years. Fantastic actors from all over the country make their way here.

The Peterborough Players is as good a theatre experience as you get get anywhere- as good as any theatre I've seen in New York or London. Very well directed and acted, and it's small enough that you are never far from the action. Don't miss it!

An intimate, well run, professional quality summer stock theater. The theater fills an old barn, air conditioned, and no one sits far from the small stage so that all is visible and audible. All the older actors are slick but some of the younger players seem a bit stiff and uncomfortable. But, that is the whole point of summer stock, to give them time and guidance to learn. We come here about twice every summer because it takes us just over an hour to drive from our home north of Boston. The area around the theater is typical, rural NH, with a nearby state park (MIller), worth a visit. A few good restaurants in the area, try the Pearl, allow coming to this theater a pleasant, half-day excursion.

I admit I am guilty of not going to see Peterborough Players. A friend took me on a "date" and it was a wonderful evening. This is historic theatre is the grand intimate style. Seating is tight but, not uncomfortable. Journey to Peterborough, sit n relax while your mind travels back in time.

You can't go wrong spending an evening with the Peterborough Players. First rate theater in a lovely country setting- and it is now air conditioned! Great value for your money. We have never seen a mediocre show there. Enjoy dinner first in downtown Peterborough and then enjoy a performance!

Peterborough Players building has been used for years for local theater and semi-professional talent alike. The theater is an old refurbished barn with comfortable seating. The outside has plenty of standing around after the show room. A nice garden and patio area welcome you into the theater. A must see when you visit Peterborough.

This place is out in the woods, and is an AWESOME place to see a show. My favorite band has played there several times now and I can't wait for the next show in a couple of weeks. Not a bad seat in the house! Very comfortable!!

I've been going to the players yearly since I was a teenager. My mother and I went at least 2-3 times a year and I still continue to go on a regular basis. I'm hoping to take my oldest daughter for the first time this year. They do such a wonderful job - a great performance is guaranteed.

This is a great summer theatre venue, rustic atmosphere but very comfortable for the audience.Great programs, we saw Four Hands Two Pianos and enjoyed it very much. The two men who performed were top notch!Theater has comfortable seating, good lines of sight and excellent sound quality.

This acting company consistently brings home awards in the "Best of NH" each year, and for good reason. They have a history of attracting premier actors - both well known and local - year after year. We see most of their plays each year, and they are always well acted and well directed, with a few each year reaching the superb level. Highly recommended.

The Players is the second oldest summer theater in NH and it produces plays of distinction with equity actors , many of whom come back each summer. Held in an old barn which has been expanded to be able to stage some more elaborate sets, the plays, which run from June to September are varied and usually excellent. This is professional theater at its best. Goodies and drinks (non-alcoholic) available at intermission.

High quality talent and theater productions. You must reserve tickets in advance or stand the chance of being sold out. Have dinner earlier in the town of Peterborough and then summer theater = great evening!

This seasonal theater is really cool. Great summer stock plays. It's not cheap but the shows are always really good. The kids plays are fun and the actors always come out and talk with the kids.

I bought my wife a Barn Door Pass for her birthday (6 tickets to see the current season's shows in any combination). Together we saw three shows, all very well done. Particularly impressed with variety and effectiveness of set design for each show, and the quality of the acting in all.

We ended up seeing Present Laughter here as a last-minute substitution for the cancelled Jaffrey fireworks. I was skeptical, since I was expecting rural summer stock quality. These guys are different - I don't know how they attract this level of talent to an itty-bitty town, but whatever they're doing, it's working out for them! Great production values, and great acting. Plus, we were lucky enough to be there on the night of their cabaret, and it was a lot of fun to see people who have obviously enjoyed working together for many summers throw caution to the wind and just entertain each other.
