Helen, the orphaned daughter of the Countess’s physician, has fallen in love with her son, Bertram. Bertram, utterly oblivious, leaves for the French Court. The King of France is very sick, and while many physicians have tried, no one has succeeded in curing him. The Countess agrees to let Helen go to the court- and she successfully heals the king. As a reward, he allows her to pick anyone she’d like as her husband. Helen selects Bertram, but he decides the union is beneath him and he leaves, leaving her with a set of seemingly impossible tasks for her to complete for him to acknowledge their marriage–but she is up for the challenge. Helen will be played by a new face to ATTP, Sarah Corbyn Woolf. Returning to the stage, Ethan Fifield will be playing the role of Bertram. ATTP is excited to welcome back to the stage Beth Daily, Lucy Randall-Tapply, Pam Schnatterly, Eliana Weiss–and many more teens and familiar faces from the community.

The Merchant of Venice Beach by John Minigan- July 15th-24th
Merchant of Venice Beach is sponsored by 603 Property Group
The Merchant of Venice Beach by John Minigan deals with the unique struggles of three women as they try to take their place in adult society and separate themselves from their upbringing. This play deals with love, sexuality, climate change, and more- opening conversations about important political topics through this modern adaptation of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. The premiere of The Merchant of Venice Beach will open July 15th in Quimby Park at 5:30 in Sandwich NH. The show will run 15th-17th, and the 24th at 5:30 in Quimby Park, and July 22nd and 23rd at 7:30 at the Sandwich Town Hall Theater- 8 Maple Street, Sandwich NH. Tickets will be available starting July 1st.
Three women, three goals. Portia, played by Caitlin Cremins, searches for a way to use her inherited wealth for good while struggling with her own sexuality. Jess, played by Mikayla Caterino, wants success equal to that of her father while proving her climate activist boyfriend’s efforts come to fruition. And Taali, played by Emma Molloy, seeks genuine human connection and to understand the world around her after the death of her father, a flat-earther whose beliefs were ingrained in Taali through her childhood. The risk of losing the Rialto (Venice Beach’s historic gay bar) to rising sea levels, Donnie Whitcomb’s real estate dealings (Jess’s father), and more bring the goals of these three women together on their paths to find love, acceptance, and move beyond their fathers “belief systems.” In addition to the leading ladies the cast will feature ATTP newcomers Jay Baker, Abi Burke, Ben Heath, Kevin Vavasseur* (courtesy of Actor's Equity Association), and a couple of teens who ATTP audiences will recognize.
