June Events
Fred Marple
June 4
As seen on New Hampshire Chronicle!
Fred Marple is back for an evening Yankee humor, music and assorted nonsense for the whole family!
Fred is the unofficial spokesman for the mythical town of Frost Heaves, NH, and he’s on a one-man campaign to put Frost Heaves back on the map. “It’s a one-man crusade because everyone else has real jobs,” says Fred.
Here’s what people are saying:
“…laughed so hard my face hurt…”
“A hoot!”
Jason Tardy
June 11
You may have seen juggling, but you haven’t truly experienced it until you’ve seen the explosive, inventive, high-energy juggling of Jason Tardy. His show is a combination of many years of relentless practice, and virtually no social life whatsoever. His hilarious show includes innovative choreographed juggling to music, fitting his body through a tennis racket, bowling ball juggling, balancing a ladder on his face, standing on a yoga ball, and if you trust him enough; fire eating and fire breathing!
“A Master of Physical Comedy!”

A message from the Artistic Director
I am excited and optimistic to be able to get back to a full 5 show season we have planned for our 92nd year. With the current state of the world being what it is, it is more important than ever to me that the theatre should be telling stories about the joy we see in viewpoints that are not necessarily familiar to us. I hope this season fills us all with laughter, love, mystery, and that when we experience theater together, we remember that even during challenging times, no one is alone.

Into the Woods
June 30 – July 9Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by James Lapine
One of Stephen Sondheim’s most beloved musicals, Into the Woods cleverly weaves together the stories of well known fairytale characters. The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Rating: PG.
The Legend of Georgia McBride
July 14 – 23Matthew Lopez
He’s young, he’s broke, his landlord’s knocking at the door, and he’s just found out his wife is going to have a baby. To make matters even more desperate, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator in a run-down, small-town Florida bar. When the bar owner brings in a B-level drag show to replace his act, Casey finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business—and himself.
Rating: PG-15, adult language.
Black Coffee
July 28 – August 6Agatha Christie
Hercule Poirot is on the case when accomplished physicist Sir Claud Amory’s formula for the atom bomb is stolen, and Sir Claud is murdered. First performed in 1930, this gripping Agatha Christie murder mystery is packed with endless red herrings, infamous spies, and a prophetic storyline about one of the most deadly weapons known to man. Rating: PG
Silent Sky
August 11 – 20Lauren Gunderson
When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. Rating: G.
Lucky Stiff
August 25 – September 3Book and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, music by Stephen Flaherty
British shoe salesman, Harry Witherspoon is set to inherit six million dollars from an uncle he’s never met, but only if he takes his uncle’s body on a whirlwind tour of Monte Carlo. A riotous musical comedy romp complete with mystery, mayhem, and a lot of dogs, sure to keep you laughing while it keeps you guessing. Rating: G.
