May 21, 2021
Summer is just around the corner, which means that summer theater is too. To help celebrate this season of sunshine, rising temperatures, barbecues and outdoor fun, we’re starting “Behind the Curtain,” a series of profiles introducing you to the many unique (and even historic) summer theaters around New Hampshire.
For our latest profile, check out the New London Barn Playhouse. We spoke to Managing Director Elliott Cunningham to learn more about how the Playhouse is the oldest continuously operating summer theater in New Hampshire, a distinction which has gained it inclusion in the state’s Register of Historic Places. Read on to learn all about their mission to enrich and entertain their community with the highest quality theater created by talented emerging artists in collaboration with accomplished professionals.
Peter Biello: Thank you very much for speaking with me.
Keith Coughlin: Peter, thanks so much for having me. I m grateful for the opportunity.

Upper Valley performing arts venues seeing more of the outdoors this summer
Clif Rogers, audio and video engineer, and Ryan Klink, director of sales and marketing, set up a camera for a time-lapse of an outdoor stage to be built at Northern Stage in White River Junction, Vt., Friday, April 2, 2021. The company is planning two plays and a workshop in the 110-seat outdoor venue for its summer season and an eventual expansion to 250 seats. Klink and his wife Amber Wallace both took jobs at Northern Stage after their New York City theater company closed early in the pandemic. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
