Following an amazing summer season, the Players return for their 3rd Annual Winter Season. First in the 3-play line-up is a classic holiday tale told from a new perspective, followed in January by the return of one of their most popular productions, and they close out the season in February with a thrilling play.

The Players fifth and sixth shows of the summer offer something for everyone, with George Bernard Shaw's The Man of Destiny playing August 15-26 and a musical adaptation of Pippi Longstocking playing August 18-25.

Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical, featuring one show-stopping number after another.  

The Peterborough Players continue their season with the Pulitzer prize-winning comedy The Skin of Our Teeth by Peterborough's own Thornton Wilder playing July 4-15!

The Peterborough Players begin their 2018 Summer Season on June 20th with the award winning one-man show, Tru: From the Words and Works of Truman Capote.

The final show of the Peterborough Players 2nd Annual Winter Season is the New Hampshire Premiere of Ripcord, the new comedy by Pulitzer Prize-Winning playwright, David Lindsay-Abaire.

All too often, the word dated is misguidedly used to diminish the impact a play of a bygone era can have on contemporary audiences. Take, for example, the puritanical attitude towards pre-marital sex expressed by many of the characters in English playwright Stanley Houghton's social commentary, HINDLE WAKES, which premiered in Manchester in 1912 and crossed the ocean to Broadway before the year was done.

Mint Theater presents a rare revival - the first in 95 years - of Stanley Houghton's Hindle Wakes. Performances continue through February 17th at the Clurman Theater at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street). Opening Night is tonight, January 18th.
