Advice To The Players

 Advice To The Players is a unique company of theater professionals, enthusiastic community members and energetic teens that has been performing Shakespeare and offering workshops in New Hampshire's Lakes & White Mountain regions since 1999.

Our award-winning productions bring William Shakespeare’s richly passionate plays to life and introduce new generations to live theater and to Shakespeare's brilliantly rendered portraits of humanity. Whether at our outdoor summer performances, or a deep-winter evening of theater in the heart of our northern towns, we promise an unforgettable experience with some of the greatest stories in the English language.

Advice To The Players also offers a myriad of education programs and opportunities for local youth and teens from summer camps, to partnerships with local schools and  Plymouth State University.

The Sandwich Fair

 An exciting old time agricultural country fair held over three days on Columbus Day Weekend in October. Fun and entertainment for all ages and families. Games, rides, shows, a parade, all kinds of food, lots of animals and agricultural products.

The fair started out as an agricultural event that local farmers hoped would turn into an annual market day where they could trade and sell their cattle. In 1886, area farmers exhibited 184 yoke of oxen at the fair. The first three-day Fair was held on October 8, 9, and 10 1988. Good weather held for all three days.
Office hours Tuesday & Thursday, 9 – 3.
