The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is a 200+ seat courtyard-style theater in Meredith, New Hampshire, United States, in the heart of New Hampshire's Lakes Region. The Playhouse produces both a professional summer stock season and a community theater season, and is arguably the only theater in the United States to do so.[1] The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is the recipient of 46 New Hampshire Theater Awards over the past eight years,[2] more than any other theater in the state during this time period,[3] and in 2009 it was selected by New Hampshire Magazine as the best professional theater in New Hampshire.[4] In 2013 the Playhouse moved from Weirs Beach in Laconia to the former Annalee Dolls campus in Meredith. The new theater has 200 seats as well as support spaces such as offices, dressing rooms, and a lobby, which the previous theater did not have.[5]
