The best of summer stock theater played out in a former 1820 barn, now a charming red building with a white front porch right on Main Street in New London! Their mission statement summarizes perfectly what “The Barn” is: “The New London Barn Playhouse produces vibrant theater created by emerging artists in collaboration with accomplished professionals within, and in order to preserve, one of the most cherished and historic summer stock theaters in the country.”
The New London Barn Playhouse is the “oldest, continuously operating, summer stock theater in New Hampshire” and is listed in New Hampshire’s Register of Historic Places. But, even more than that, it is the intimate experience in this small theater which makes it so special. Summer in New London wouldn’t be the same without the Barnies walking down Main Street and the opportunity to see really good summer stock theater right in our own community!
