Winnipesaukee Playhouse Launches 2019 Professional Season

NH's consistently award-winning, and perhaps youngest, professional theatre has just launched their 2019 summer season, and topping the list is a June 12 opening of On Golden Pond that will be directed by author and Academy Award winner, Ernest Thompson. Set in Maine, the film shot in NH's Squam Lake locations not far from the Playhouse, the art of the play is not in its settings but in the relationships that emerge from golden days and loving bonds - truth revealed in any locale. On Golden Pond is part of a thematic year of art - and artists - they're calling 'Made in America,' with work that speaks to what that means and how our very diversity actually unifies us in the iconography of discovery.

Artistic Director and co-founder Neil Pankhurst announced a stellar lineup for the Lakes Region Playhouse that is home to professional, education, and community productions all year round.

The two-week run of On Golden Pond will be followed by: Ken Ludwig's Moon Over Buffalo, Avenue Q, Chicago, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and California Suite (opening almost exactly a year after the passing of prodigious author Neil Simon). Spring and autumn will also offer productions of Insignificance and Deadly Murder, as well as multiple Education Department/youth shows and community productions.

Casting and artistic teams will be announced as available. Meanwhile, Early Subscriptions and Gifts are available now, and the entire Season information may be found at www.winnipesaukeeplayhouse.org or by phoning 603-279-0333.
