About Winnipesaukee Playhouse
The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is a regional theatre located in Meredith, New Hampshire, on a purpose-built campus at 33 Footlight Circle (formerly 50 Reservoir Rd). Since relocating from Weirs Beach, Laconia to the Meredith campus in 2013, the venue has offered an intimate performance space that seats roughly 200–250 attendees, with current configurations typically around 200. The Playhouse features End-On and Thrust seating, with balconies that provide near-center sightlines. Some balcony seating may have limited mobility suitability, so we recommend checking the seating configuration when you secure your tickets. Whether you’re catching a dramatic production, an improv fundraiser like ImprovOlympics, or a community showcase, Winnipesaukee Playhouse delivers a close-up theatre experience.
