Playhouse introduces its new theatre to community this weekend By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — Eleven years ago, Neil Pankhurst had a bold dream. He wanted to build a theater, specifically, a courtyardstyle theater reminiscent of the Cottesloe Theatre, the smallest of the three auditoriums of the National Theatre in London. Pankhurst, along with the rest of the nonprofit Winnipesaukee Playhouse orga-
nization, has been watching that dream come true over the past year. The newly constructed theatre, which sits on a Resevoir Road campus unlike anything this side of the Berkshires, will be unveiled to the public today and tomorrow during a weekend-long open house. On Saturday night, beginning at 6 p.m., the Winnipesaukee Playhouse theatre will host a gala fund raiser. The evening
will begin with a cocktail hour and tours of the facility until 7 p.m., at which point patrons will be welcomed into the auditorium for a performance lasting until 8:15. Dessert and coffee will then conclude the event. Tickets for the gala cost $75. The theatre will host a free open house on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The general public is invited to attend for tours, see tHEatrE page 13
