Winnipesaukee Playhouse

The Winnipesaukee Playhouse, also referred to as the Winni Playhouse, is an 84-seat black box-style theater located in the Weirs Beach section of Laconia, New Hampshire. The Playhouse produces both a professional summer stock season as well as a community theater season, and is arguably the only theater in the United States to do so. The Winni Playhouse is the recipient of 28 New Hampshire Theater Awards over the past 4 years, more than any other theater in the state during this time period, and in 2009 it was selected by New Hampshire Magazine as the best professional theater in New Hampshire. The Winni Playhouse has acquired the former Annalee Dolls campus in Meredith, New Hampshire. This theater is expected to have 182 seats as well as support spaces such as offices, dressing rooms, and a lobby, which the current theater in Weirs Beach does not have.
