Theatre Under the Stars


On a warm summer evening in the mountains, I attended an outdoor performance of Shakespeare's "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at Theatre Under the Stars in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire.

Many in the audience bring picnic baskets and spread out a lunch on the lawn. Wine bottles and goblets are everywhere. I attend at least a couple of performances a year here and have become acquainted with the founder and artistic director, the executive manager and several actors. The company values a friendly atmosphere and circulates among the patrons before and after the shows, getting to know as many as possible. The theatre is a New Hampshire treasure you might not know about unless you follow the performing arts.
