Have we got drama? Theater? Improv? Footlights?

Here’s some for June!

Through June 15 @theseacoastrep The Rep!, AKA Seacoast Repertory Theatre, features the timeless fairytale Cinderella! This musical adaptation brings to life the magic of the classic tale through captivating songs and dazzling choreography. Audiences will be swept away by the vibrant performances, enchanting costumes, and breathtaking sets that transport them to a fairy tale world. Then on June 26, step into a world of fairy tale misfits and hilarious adventures with Shrek The Musical!

Head to @playersringnh the Players’ Ring Theatre on the edge of Prescott Park where A Man of No Importance plays through June 15. They say: This tender story of family, friendship and acceptance teaches us that it really is a wonderful thing to “love who you love.”

Also June 6-15, over at @nhtheatreproject New Hampshire Theatre Project’s black box stage you can see Dive In Productions presents William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

@ogunquitplayhouse Ogunquit Playhouse, in Ogunquit, Maine, opens for the 2025 season with Come from Away through June 14. Come From Away transports you into the lives of 7,000 stranded passengers and the inhabitants of the unlikely Newfoundland town that welcomed them. Then, June 19-July 19, Often called Broadway’s perfect musical, catch the Tony Award-winner Guys and Dolls. Guaranteed to charm audiences of all ages.
