| | Our Town
by Thornton Wilder
Presented Downtown in Peterborough, NH
August 4-15
“We all know that something is eternal. And it ain’t houses and it ain’t names, and it ain’t earth, and it ain’t even the stars . . . everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings.”
To celebrate our Grand Restart, there is no play more perfect than Thornton Wilder’s Our Town. An exploration of the profound experience of everyday life, Our Town looks through the eyes of the citizens of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, in their growing up, loving, living, and dying. The ownership of this Pulitzer Prize-winning American play is strongly felt by the residents of Peterborough, NH (long rumored to be the inspiration for Grover’s Corners, whether confirmed or not…).
The Players has a long and intimate connection to Our Town: since our first production in 1940, on which Thornton Wilder himself consulted, it has become our most produced play to date.
In a Players’ first, this production will be performed onsite, outdoors in downtown Peterborough, NH. Our Town, downtown, in our town; a celebration of what it means to be human. | Buy Tickets |
| | Beehive: The 60s Musical
Created by Larry Gallagher
Presented on the new Elsewhere Stage at the Players
August 18-29
Beehive: The 60s Musical is a journey of humor and heart that celebrates the female voices of the 1960s, from Shirley Ellis (“The Name Game”) through Janis Joplin (“Me and Bobby McGee”) with many, many hits in between. Told from the perspective of six young women who come of age in the 60s, the show is underpinned by the social upheaval and radical change of that decade. Six powerhouse performers sing and dance their way through a playlist of some of the best music of the 60s, backed by a rocking band. Featuring hits from the likes of The Shirelles, Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles, Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield, The Supremes, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin and more. While this is the party we need right now, Beehive is also more relevant than ever.

| | Where You Are (U.S. Premiere!)
by Kristen Da Silva
Presented on the new Elsewhere Stage at the Players
September 1-12
Sisters Glenda and Suzanne live a peaceful retirement selling homemade jam on Manitoulin Island. This summer, their usual concerns – trying to orchestrate sightings of their handsome veterinarian neighbor and preparing for the visit of Suzanne’s grown daughter, Beth, are complicated by a secret the sisters can no longer contain. When Beth arrives with secrets of her own, the three women have to face things that will change their lives and relationships forever. A dramedy to make you laugh about families, forgiveness, and falling in love.
The Players is thrilled to be staging the U.S. Premiere of this new Canadian play. Performed open-air on the new outdoor Elsewhere Stage at the Players. | Buy Tickets |
