Players Ring
An intimate downtown theater, featuring one-acts, local originals, works-in progress and experimental theater.
The Pontine Theatre
Pontine Theatre has been a ground-breaking force in the blossoming of actor-based theatre, creating work that is engaging, innovative and original. Pontine's work is founded on the concept that the actor should function as a creative (rather than interpretive) artist, and that the name actor dictates action (movement) as their primary tool.

Seacoast Repertory Theatre
Seacoast Repertory Theatre is a community gathering place, a resource where our community comes together to share entertainment and stories; it is a place for reflection on life, and a place for celebrating the essence and hope of humanity. Locally and regionally, people plan their summers around our productions and travel to the Seacoast to experience our work. In the winter our year-round subscribers engage in a dialogue around compelling and high quality work including packed pre-show symposiums and post-show discussions. The local community has ownership of the theatre as a vital component of its social fabric and the transient community supports the theatre for the dynamic, provocative and yet entertaining element to their summers and weekends.
The Music Hall
The mission of The Music Hall is to present the very best of diverse performing and related arts and to serve as an active and vital arts center for the enrichment of the Seacoast community. Our vision is to be the Seacoast's premier performing arts center, fulfilling our role as the anchor cultural organization in our community and striving for national recognition with our programming and restoration. We will emerge as an American Treasure through a combination of vibrant programming and restoration that is historically respectful while balancing contemporary needs and design.
Hackmatack Playhouse
We are proud to be the caretakers of a vision that S. Carlton Guptill had 34 years ago: to give actors and technicians a place to grow in their craft and to offer high school and college students a place to learn alongside community and professional artists.
Ogunquit Playhouse
What began on a warm Saturday evening in a renovated garage in Ogunquit’s town square during the summer of 1933 blossomed into one our country’s finest theatres and continues today as “America’s Foremost Summer Theatre.” It all began when Broadway showman Walter Hartwig and his wife Maude realized their dream of bringing quality theatre to venues outside of New York City and they brought their Manhattan Theatre Colony to Ogunquit. Because Ogunquit was renowned as a summer resort and art colony he was able to persuade such theater legends as Maude Adams, Ethel Barrymore, and Laurette Taylor to star with the resident company. The theatre experienced enormous success and soon sought larger quarters. Hartwig bought the old Ware Farm on Route 1, just south of town, and built the present-day Ogunquit Playhouse, which opened on July 17, 1937.
