Celebrating Our Heritage | Securing Our Future

For nine decades, the Peterborough Players has produced professional theatre at a level of quality that has gained it a significant national reputation. There is always something surprising, delightful, thought-provoking, or moving happening on stage at the Players.

Ticket sales cover less than 60% of the cost of running the theatre. Each fall, the Players hosts a signature fundraising event, a celebrated and glittering Gala and Live Auction in Peterborough. This year we have transformed what was our silent auction into this online event, and are running it during the height of our summer season to reach an even broader audience, and encourage participation among our loyal supporters who are not able to attend the Gala and Live Auction on November 2nd.

We hope you will find the following items, services, and experiences of interest. BY BIDDING ON THESE ITEMS, YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE PETERBOROUGH PLAYERS. THANK YOU! Please bid often and bid high!!


About the Peterborough Players

Peterborough Players is a cultural treasure; an 90-year-old, fully professional nonprofit Equity theatre in an unexpected setting—an historic barn, three miles outside of downtown Peterborough, NH. Normally, the theatre offers a traditional summer season from June through September, a three-play winter season, “The Met: Live in HD” operas and London’s National Theatre offerings, all with a challenging repertoire ranging from the classics, to the best of contemporary theatre, and big book musicals. The Players produces professional theatre at a level of quality that has gained it a significant national reputation. “American summer repertory theatre at its most accomplished” – Terry Teachout, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.

“The Barn,” now renovated to a 250 seat theatre, is a cultural and economic cornerstone, drawing audiences from all over the Monadnock region and beyond and fulfilling its historic mission to: “Enrich the human experience by producing quality live professional theatre, developing and training theatre artists, and offering New Hampshire a wide variety of performing arts events.” The Players trains young theatre artists through our Second Company of interns who spend the summer season learning all aspects of the craft, and perform in a show produced especially for young audiences.

As part of our deep belief that the arts should be accessible to ALL, we offer “Players Gives” outreach programs. Players Gives helps broaden accessibility to live theatre by providing reduced-cost tickets to those in the community who might not otherwise be able to attend, while also creating partnerships and lending a helping hand to meaningful organizations who do a lot of good in the community.

The Peterborough Players is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
