The Boothbay Playhouse

Set against the backdrop of a unique New England barn-like structure, the Boothbay Playhouse served as a professional summer theatre from 1937 to 1974, showcasing a different play each week during the summer months. Despite its charm and affordable ticket prices, the theatre struggled with financial difficulties and attendance challenges, ultimately leading to its closure due to mounting losses. The narrative captures the vibrant yet tumultuous history of a beloved cultural institution.
