Did you know some of these performances are taking place on the Castle lawn? Join us on August 2, 5. 6, and 7 for this amazing show.

Next up, our main stage production, Romeo & Juliet! This production has been over a year in the making and we're so excited to finally bring it to not only Quimby Park but our continuing partner, Castle in the Clouds!

July 31 - August 9
Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare
July 31, August 1, 8, 9 at 5:00 pm in Quimby Park, Sandwich NH
August 2, 5, 6, 7 at 4:45 pm at Castle in the Clouds, Moultonborough NH

This play is the gateway to Shakespeare for so many, and we are delighted to bring our take on it to the region. Our production will explore how earnestness and eagerness collide in great joy, great tragedy, and above all, great hope. We’ll poke at some assumptions about this story, dig into just how awkward two teenagers can be, and seek subtle, deep truths about family, community, and love.

We’ve partnered once again with Castle in the Clouds to bring half of our performances not only onto their grounds but up to the Lucknow Mansion itself, with our playing space nestled in the back garden as well as – you guessed it – on the balcony. The other half of our run will return to Quimby Park in Sandwich, NH, our creative home base, where we are so grateful to rehearse and perform year after year.

As always, our cast features both new and familiar faces. Juliet is played by Eliana Weiss, who most recently graced our stage as Richard III in 2025. Romeo is played by company newcomer Beks Roen. The rest of this lively team includes Frederick Bickford, Chris Boldt, Liz Burdick, Shea Flanagan, Ethan Fifield, Noa Hellquist, Martha Nichols, Kailey Potter, Lucy Randall-Tapply, and Tom Shane. It is stage managed by Savannah Muzzey and directed by Sarah Corbyn Woolf.

Artwork by the ever-brilliant Aislinn Hird.

Did you visit the Castle between 1959 and 2006? If so, our newest exhibit might feel like a trip down memory lane!

"From Private Estate to Public Treasure: Lucknow After Thomas and Olive Plant" is now open in the Carriage House Exhibit Gallery. This exhibit explores the history of the Lucknow Estate after the Plants' ownership.

Remember the suit of armor? The carved wooden griffins? They're back on display alongside photographs, artifacts, and memorabilia that tell the story of Lucknow's transformation from private estate to beloved New Hampshire attraction.

Whether you're reliving fond memories or discovering this chapter of Castle history for the first time, we hope you'll stop by and explore the exhibit during your next visit!
