Andy’s is an innovative summer youth theater located in southern New Hampshire. Every summer we produce original works that are performed by local artists aged eight to eighteen, with direction and mentoring by professional artists from New Hampshire and beyond.
MISSION Statement
Andy’s Summer Playhouse exists to provide a safe environment for children to experience and learn about all aspects of the performing arts, with the goal of creating innovative theater for the surrounding community. Andy’s emphasizes education and community building, encouraging all participants to explore their own creativity.
Andy’s affords children an opportunity to:
Be responsible to and for something larger than themselves
Create a viable work of art recognized by all ages
Begin to understand the nature of creative self-expression
Work with professional artists
Develop a lifelong appreciation of the arts
The single, most important guiding principle is an unrelenting faith in the integrity, dignity and importance of children and their point of view.
