Insightful, humorous, suspenseful, and HISTORIC! Join Powerhouse Theatre and the Lakes Region Symphony Orchestra as we present 1776 The Musical June 27th at the Colonial Theatre - Laconia. This Tony Award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and book by Peter Stone, takes us to the room where it happened as the Continental Congress fiercely debates the question of independence. You know how it ends, but you'll still be on the edge of your seat wondering if the new nation will get off the ground. ONE DAY ONLY! 🇺🇸

A FEW SPOTS LEFT - SIGN UP TODAY FOR A FUN SUMMER WORKSHOP! 😂
Improv is about more than just being funny — it's about thinking on your feet, active listening, and trusting yourself in the moment. Over the course of 8 weeks, you'll learn to do just that — with Boldness. The class is designed around the fundamentals of short-form improv that keep scenes alive: spatial awareness, character work, and the "yes-and" mindset that makes collaboration work. These principles not only build real-world skills; they help to foster your experience in the present moment, so you leave each class with more confidence than you walked in with. Oh yeah - and it is super fun!

THANK YOU NH! We so appreciate everyone who participated in NH Gives by donating to Powerhouse or any of the other many wonderful nonprofits! We didn't quite reach all of our goals, but we had a few offline donations, so we were closer than it looks. And, as you promoted the 24 hours of giving, many of you shared what Powerhouse means to you, and your kind words are truly priceless. Thank you donors, participants, and audience members for supporting our growing group! If you still feel inclined to give - our match is continuing through tomorrow. Now - off to rehearsal!
