2012 Papermill Summer Theater Season


North Country Center for the Arts is a charitable non-profit organization that was founded in 1986 to support the arts in northern New Hampshire. Located in Lincoln, New Hampshire, North Country Center for the Arts is in the midst of a $2.6 million capital campaign to build Jean’s Playhouse, the year-round home to North Country Center for the Arts and the Papermill Theatre. Named for Jean Hallager, one of the prime contributors to the success of the Papermill Theatre, this new state-of-the-art facility will provide a venue for year-round theatrical, musical and visual arts, as well as community gatherings and events.







The Wedding Singer – In THE WEDDING SINGER, it’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own.
Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. Only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a brand new score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980′s, THE WEDDING SINGER takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.
Performances: July 5-7, July 12-14, July 21, July 23, July 26-27, July 31-Aug. 1, Aug. 4, Aug. 6, Aug. 9, Aug. 10, Aug. 14, Aug. 21, Aug. 24, Aug. 29


Dirty Rotten Scoundrels – Based on the popular 1988 film, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS centers on two con men living on the French Riviera. The first is the suave and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson, who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. The other, a small-time crook named Freddy Benson, more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother’s failing health.
After meeting on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn’t big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate, wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues, that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!
Performances: July 19-20, July 24-25, July 28, July 30, Aug. 2, Aug. 3, Aug. 7-8, Aug. 11, Aug. 13, Aug. 18, Aug. 20, Aug. 22, Aug. 25, Aug. 28




A Grand Night for Singing – Taste and imagination, the two key ingredients for a first-rate revue, abound in this fresh take on the Rodgers & Hammerstein canon conceived by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie. Over three decades after the duo’s final collaboration, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, took the Great White Way by storm, it was in fact this new R&H musical that opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, garnering wildly enthusiastic notices as well as earning two Tony nominations, including Best Musical. Rodgers and Hammerstein probably never imagined ‘Shall We Dance?’ as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer, nor did they suspect that one day a lovelorn young lad might pose the musical question, ‘How do you solve a problem like Maria?’ But that’s precisely the kind of invention lavished upon this new revue, with innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque ‘I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair,’ a swingin’ ‘Honeybun’ worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy ‘Kansas City’ which leaves no question about how terrifically up to date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
Performances: Aug. 16-17, Aug. 23, Aug. 27, Aug. 30 – Sep 1, Sept. 27-29, Sept. 30, Oct. 3, Oct. 5, Oct. 7, Oct. 10, Oct. 12, Oct. 17, Oct. 19
