The Peterborough Players has shared the lineup for their Summer 2021 Grand Restart. The season consists of three shows presented in bold, fresh, and safe ways: a perennial classic with an intimate connection to the Players, a high-energy musical with heart and relevance, and a U.S. Premiere play. After a year spent asking big questions of ourselves and confronting a global pandemic with lasting impact on the performing arts, we knew we had to come back in a meaningful way, says Associate Artistic Director Tom Frey, We knew we needed to not only honor what we ve been through but find a way to celebrate the joy of coming together again.
Back in January, Managing Director Keith Stevens said the Peterborough Players were committed to a return to live theater in 2021. With Monday’s summer theater announcement, the Players have a defined path forward as they emerge out of the COVID-19.

Back in January, Managing Director Keith Stevens said the Peterborough Players were committed to a return to live theater in 2021. With Monday’s summer theater announcement, the Players have a defined path forward as they emerge out of the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown that has forced the organization to go more than 15 months since its last production. Dubbed the “Grand Restart 2021,” the Players will produce three plays beginning in August in front of live audiences, but with one caveat – each performance will be outdoors.
“We have been, as every theater company that I know, trying to figure out what makes the most sense given the lead time to produce a season,” Stevens said.

Lisa Bostnar still gets butterflies when the curtain opens and the lights get bright. But not the nervous fluttering kind, more like an excited anticipation of performing in front of an audience, there to capture her every move on stage.
Since moving to New York City in 1986, acting has not only been Bostnar’s career, but it has fulfilled a passion for creativity and imagination that really began as a child playing in the backwoods of Ohio.
“I consider myself so fortunate because this is what I’ve been doing for a living since 1986,” Bostnar said.
