Andy's Summer Playhouse is innovative theater by children for people of all ages. We serve all of southern New Hampshire from Nashua to Keene, and from Concord to Massachusetts. "There is no adequate way to thank Andy's for the contribution it has made to our lives. . . It has helped my son to be better than he was - encouraged him, confirmed him - and provided friendships and activities which have surrounded him with a healthy, wonderful social life. I am sure Andy's will be what he measures much of his life by!" Andy's programs foster creative collaborations between children and professional artists who work in a variety of media: performance art, theater, dance, music, puppetry, video, set and lighting design and playwriting. In the 35 years of its existence, Andy's has grown from a summer play produced by two school teachers, to its current state as a fully equipped summer theater, with a staff of over 30 professional artists, involving over 250 children and over 3,000 audience members each year.
