It is a funny, modernized examination of a nutty family of middle aged siblings, one of whom brings a boy- toy into their New England family estate. While Durang says it’s not a parody of Chekhov’s Russian ‘comedies’, he admits that he’s taken a mish-mash of Chekhovian characters and elements and “put them in a blender”. The results are hilarious. Reflecting on the misconceptions of love, married life, and the not-so- happily ever after…three breathless brides gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous husband by re-living the shocking events leading up to their deaths. A breath-taking social critique, full of rich images, a myriad of characters, and lyrical language. Nicole has had a long, rough day teaching and just needs to get through two after school parent/teacher appointments. One parent does not understand boundaries between people and the second parent, rough, crass, and out of place, is struggling to play nice with others. It seems that both need lessons in parenting; yet, all three of them have multiple issues bubbling under the surface just waiting to erupt. Set in a grade 3 classroom, George F. Walker’s new play, Parents Night, is a challenging, dramatic comedy that doesn’t hold back, showcasing three adults who battle their way towards acceptance and understanding. He is coming... coming for you.... The blood is the life. Welcome to his house... enter freely and of your own will ..... Join us for a thrilling adaptation of one of the world’s first and still best horror novels. Dracula by Bram Stoker, in a new adaptation by Stephen Dietz. The master and first of the vampires bids you welcome.... the children of the night, what music they make....Join us! Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia! What happens when Lucy stumbles through an enchanted wardrobe to find herself in a land where it is always winter, never Christmas? Can she, Peter, Edmund and Susan help the citizens of Narnia defeat the White Witch? Only when they are most lost do the children find that they are very brave indeed! What happens to a small island community off the west coast of Ireland in 1934 when a Hollywood company arrives to make a movie? For 17 year-old Billy Claven, orphaned and physically handicapped, it’s an opportunity to escape the boredom of his pitiable existence. Everything about this black comedy is astonishing and unexpected! In 2014, The New York Times called it, “spellbinding and outrageously funny!” The Cripple of Inishmaan is the Guild’s entry in EODL full-length play festival for 2018. The romantic and comedic tale of two lonely, middle-aged people, each carrying a great deal of emotional baggage and facing the possibility that the best of life has passed them by. Johnny is certain that a soul mate has been found in Frankie, who is far more cautious and considers the idea ridiculous.

About The GuildFrom our simple beginning in 1965, The Peterborough Theatre Guild has entertained thousands of Peterborough area residents and visitors alike with award winning live theatre. The troupe performs its plays in the Guildhall located at 364 Rogers Street in Peterborough. The building (formerly St. Luke’s Anglican Church) was gutted by fire in 1959. A local group of theatre enthusiasts raised the funds to purchase the old church and after extensive renovations, staged their first play just a few years later. Because of the hard work and dedication by this group of people, the Theatre Guild is the only producing theatre company in the region which owns its own theatre.
The Peterborough Theatre Guild is made up entirely of volunteer members. Our doors are always open to other people in the community who want to participate in the theatre onstage, backstage or in the administration or as ushers or box office volunteers. We welcome you to join us! Go to theatreguild.org and find a volunteer application or contact our volunteer and membership coordinator.

The Peterborough Theatre Guild continues its more than fifty-year-long tradition of providing excellent community theatre with this great line-up of shows for 2017-2018. I’m very excited to see such a mix of interesting titles and genres in the playbill. We start with a dark thriller Dracula and later in the season poke fun at horror with the astounding Addams Family. This great musical recently stormed Broadway, as did our comedy Vanya&Sonya&Masha&Spike by Christopher Durang. We have a classic family show, a powerful drama, fascinating, innovative and compelling plays all round.
