Ogunquit Playhouse Coupons & Promo Codes April 2024

Home to world-class theatre, the Ogunquit Playhouse has an 86 year legacy of creating top-notch productions complete with professional casts and creative teams, and stars of screen and stage, hand-picked for each production.On a warm summer evening in 1933, from a renovated garage in Ogunquit's town square, the Ogunquit Playhouse opened its doors for the first time. The next 85 years would see the theatre grow into a renowned and lauded regional theatre: earning national and international recognition for its productions, in addition to having the historic building deemed a structure of National Significance on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the Ogunquit Playhouse has grown from a 10-week summer theatre to a true regional theatre, producing between five and seven musicals annually over a 24-week period on its own stage, as well as a holiday show at the Music Hall in Portsmouth, NH for an additional four weeks.

Building on its history in performing arts education, over the last ten years the Playhouse has also developed and offered special performances for middle and high school aged children, as well as began the arduous process of restoring and renovating the eighty-year-old building by investing in a new steel support system for the stage house section of the theatre to support both the building and a new rigging system, installed a new state-of-the art sprinkler system and expanded the loading dock to allow the safe storage, loading, and unloading of the sets. This is just the beginning. There is much still to do in these areas.With Bradford Kenney's foresight and leadership furthering the commitment to preserve the Playhouse for future generations, the Ogunquit Playhouse, with its growing international reputation, continues to produce and showcase Broadway-caliber musicals on its historic stage. Bradford Kenney, the Playhouse staff, and Board of Directors are dedicated to bringing audiences the newest show titles, beloved classics, as well as brand new and world premiere shows, and are proud to now foster new works for the musical stage.
