Venue Directory
Peterborough Players
Comment on Facebook The Players' intimate 250-seat theatre is in an 18th-century barn at historic Stearns Farm, three miles from downtown Peterborough. The barn and its outbuildings provide a uniquely charming theatrical venue, including a flower-decked patio and landscaped grounds where patrons can picnic before a performance. The theatre, which is wheelchair accessible, has been renovated over the last decade to add air conditioning and heating, a new lobby and box office, and enhanced rehearsal and dressing room space.
In 2002, the Players upgraded audience seating by replacing padded folding chairs with comfortable theatre seating. Additionally, renovations were done to double the administrative office space, increase the size of the kitchen, and expand rest rooms.
The Peterborough Players theatre combines rustic charm with modern comforts and state-of-the-art theatre amenities.
