Planning Your Visit
We’re thrilled that you’ll be joining us for our Summer 2021 Grand Restart! Here are a few things to bear in mind as you’re planning your visit:
Our three fabulous shows will take place at two different locations this summer:
- Our Town will be performed outdoors, onsite in downtown Peterborough. The entrance to the space is off Phoenix Mill Lane in downtown Peterborough, NH. If you’re familiar with Peterborough, we’ll be on what’s known as R.J. Finlay or the Guernsey Green (70 Main Street Green), behind the Monadnock Center for History & Culture and the Town House. If not, we look forward to introducing you to downtown Peterborough!
Here's what you can expect when you come to see Our Town, downtown in our town:
- Beehive: The 60s Musical and Where You Are will both be performed on the new outdoor Elsewhere Stage on the grounds of the Peterborough Players. The address of the Players is 55 Hadley Road, Peterborough, NH.
Upcoming Shows, Dates, and Times
All performances downtown will have a 5:30pm curtain time.
All performances on the Elsewhere Stage will have a 4:30pm curtain time.
All shows run Wednesday – Sunday.

When You Reserve Your Tickets:
As with so many things this year, reserving your tickets will be a different experience than before. All of our shows will be General Admission; however, seating will be arranged ahead of time by our box office staff. This means you’ll be able to reserve specific performances, but please understand, not specific seats. We’ll do our very best to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible at all of our shows!
Curtain Up! Passholders have Priority Reserve from July 1-15th. After that, Curtain Up! Passholders will get the next available at the time they call. Kindly remember that any tickets reserved with a Curtain Up! Pass must be done by calling our box office at (603) 924-7585. Curtain Up! Passes cannot be used to reserve tickets online. Thanks for understanding!
Single Tickets for all shows will go on sale July 16th. All are $47.
When you call our box office, you’ll be asked a series of questions, as you would if you were making reservations at your favorite restaurant! These will include the number in your party, whether or not you have any accessibility issues that we should know about, etc. We ask for your kind patience with these questions, as our box office staff is asking in order to best accommodate your needs, as well as our own safety requirements.

Covid Safety:
For the comfort and safety of all, all seating will be made at the discretion of the Box Office staff and parties will be seated at a safe social distance. We ask that you kindly observe any COVID safety regulations in place at the time of your visit to the Players. Masks are required for entrance into any building at the Players, so kindly bring one with you. A staff COVID Compliance Officer will be ensuring the safety of all, including patrons.
Parking:
For Our Town, there is ample, free public parking in the town of Peterborough. Specifically, there are two convenient municipal lots within a short 2-4 minute walk:
You can find more info on parking in Peterborough HERE.
For Beehive: The 60s Musical and Where You Are, we will be back on the grounds of the Players and will handle parking in a way similar to previous years – although not the same! Kindly bear in mind that what was once Elsewhere Lane (the passage to some of our parking) is now a part of the Elsewhere Stage.
In both locations, accessible parking access will be provided to those who need assistance, via closer designated parking or accessible drop-off. Kindly bear in mind that in our downtown space, all parking is public parking and we can't guarantee which spaces will be available at a given time.
Audience seating for Our Town is on a gentle, grassy slope. Kindly bear in mind how specific wheelchairs and other mobility devices will maneuver on grass. The actors will be miked. Please share any specific accessibility needs with our box office staff when you reserve your tickets, so we can work to accommodate you comfortably!

Food and Drink:
The Players will not be selling concessions downtown. We encourage you to patronize the wonderful local restaurants before and after the show!
At both our downtown location and at Elsewhere Stage, we ask that you please treat the spaces as you would our theatre. Kindly do not eat or drink during the performance (this can still be distracting to both performers and patrons, even outside), with the exception of water. However, please feel free to eat during intermissions. Of course, you can picnic on the grounds of the Players beyond the Elsewhere Stage space before or after the show.
As good stewards of the land we’re on, we ask that you please leave with anything you may have brought in. Thank you!

Rain Policy:
While we wish we could control the weather, we know that unfortunately, we can't. If we determine that a performance can proceed, we will, and invite you to join us! Should we need to cancel a performance due to rain or inclement weather, we will do our best to accommodate you into a future performance of the show in question. If that's not possible, we will credit your account, or if you prefer, provide a refund.
Should we experience a light mist or drizzle, we ask the you please not open umbrellas in the seating area. Small as they may seem, they can impact the view of others in the audience. Rain gear is of course welcome!
