Shakespeare In the Valley will be performed by PLAYAH (located at 39 Alden Drive in Campton, NH)

PLAYAH is a Non-Profit Theatrical Corporation that illuminates, invigorates and educates, helping grafton area youth participate in a fun, healthy, growth-oriented activity.

Many patrons are from within a 60 mile radius of Campton, with the rest being second home owners and visitors from southern NH, the Boston area and New York. This year PLAYAH is offering 4 performances a week to an anticipated audiences of 5,000 people.

100% of the net revenue goes to fund scholarships for area youth age 8-16 to attend our Reach for the Stars CAN DO Youth Theatre Camps. Last year 8 children from the area received scholarships and we were able to offer several free performances for kids because of sales revenue.
