Peterboruough Players - The SantaLand Diaries, Sep 16, 2009 to Sep 27, 2009 Featured Listing!
Comedy at the Peterboruough Players
Category: Peterborough Theater event near Manchester, New Hampshire
User Rating: Be the first to write a review for Peterboruough Players - The SantaLand Diaries!
Description of this Manchester area Event: “Priceless observations, both outrageous and subtle. Destined to hold a place in the annals of American humor writing.” – The New York Times
A comedy by David Sedaris, adapted by Joe Montello
Best enjoyed when holiday stress is a distant glimmer, The SantaLand Diaries is a witty evocation of life as a Macy’s elf during the holiday crunch. At first the job is simply humiliating, but once thousands of visitors start pouring through Santa’s workshop and an endless stream of Santas take turns ordering him around, Crumpet the Elf (played by Kraig Swartz) becomes battle-weary and bitter. As Christmas Eve and his last day of employment draws near, will Crumpet find a moment of Christmas spirit and goodwill? Rated PG-13

Peterboruough Players - Heartbreak House, Aug 19, 2009 to Aug 30, 2009 - Next Month Featured Listing!
Comedy at the Peterboruough Players
Category: Peterborough Theater event near Manchester, New Hampshire
User Rating: Be the first to write a review for Peterboruough Players - Heartbreak House!
Description of this Manchester area Event: "Shaw's bracing analysis of a civilization in decline seems more valuable than ever. Almost a century after it was written, Heartbreak House provides a keen comic rebuke to cynicism, self-indulgence, and detachment." – The New York Times
Comedy by George Bernard Shaw
This classic play is a dazzling, bittersweet look at an affluent, ineffectual society on the brink of profound social change – a timeless theme. Humorous, biting, and remarkably topical, Heartbreak House is considered one of Shaw’s greatest plays. Subtitled “A Fantasia in the Russian Manner on English Themes,” Shaw adroitly skews the British gentry in the months leading up to World War I in this very funny yet poignant classic. Rated PG.

Fast forward to the realities of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car, and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set in Act II. Rated PG-13

Peterboruough Players - Little Shop of Horrors, Jul 29, 2009 to Aug 16, 2009 Featured Listing!
Musical Comedy at the Peterboruough Players
Category: Peterborough Theater event near Manchester, New Hampshire
User Rating: Be the first to write a review for Peterboruough Players - Little Shop of Horrors!
Description of this Manchester area Event: “Little Shop just nailed that sensibility, that certain mix of classical musical comedy style and what is – but is never supposed to be called – a ‘camp’ sensibility.” – The New York Times
A musical with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken.
A down-and-out skid row floral assistant named Seymour suddenly becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B singing carnivore who offers Seymour fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite. One of the longest running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a brilliant musical score. Rated PG-13

Attitash Ski and Snowboard Resort
New Hampshire's Premier Vacation Destination
Category: Bartlett Skiing near North Conway, New Hampshire
User Rating: Be the first to write a review for Attitash Ski and Snowboard Resort!
Description of this North Conway area Activity: Attitash is Mount Washington Valley’s largest four-season resort. Boston-area families flock to this friendly resort just outside of North Conway, New Hampshire, drawn by its children’s programs, snow quality, and service-oriented employees. “A ski area I always know will be good,” says one SKI Magazine reader. Located partially in the White Mountain National Forest and with views of Mt. Washington and the Presidential Range, Attitash offers a true sampling of New England skiing, from the classic narrow trails on Attitash to the wide-body cruisers of Bear Peak. The peaks are distinct, with separate base areas, yet are connected by trails. Though neither Attitash, with a 1,750-foot vertical drop, nor Bear Peak, with a 1,450-foot vertical, ranks as a big mountain, together they add up to a lot of variety and a lot of skiing.

Gunstock Mountain Resort
New Hampshire 4 Season Playground
Category: Gilford Skiing near Laconia, New Hampshire
User Rating: Be the first to write a review for Gunstock Mountain Resort!
Description of this Laconia area Activity: Introduction
Gunstock Mountain Resort is one of the longest established ski areas in the US, opening in 1937, it boasted the second chairlift operating in North America. Today the resort’s lift system and other amenities are rather definitely hi-tech, with the recent installation of the Panoramo High Speed quad that gives you access to 1400 vertical feet of skiing in 6 minutes. The resort is still a family favorite as it has been for generations. Gunstock also offers the only money back guarantee in the North Country.
Gunstock's recently expanded ski terrain is backed by aggressive grooming techniques tending the slopes day and night to give it that perfect corduroy finish. As you ski, the views of Lake Winnipesaukee are of the best in the state.
Gunstock wasn't always about snow, lights, lifts and action. It took the vision of the Belknap County Legislators in 1935 to propose the "Belknap Mountain Recreation Area." On the heels of the Great Depression, Belknap Mountain was born of the WPA's (Works Progress Administration) New Deal program created during President Roosevelt's administration.
The project took three years to complete and employed 300 local workers. Amenities included ski trails, a single chairlift, rope tows, cross country trails, toboggan runs, sliding hills and a ski jumping complex. The resort is still under the ownership of Belknap County to this day.
Skiing
Gunstock Mountain offers 51 trails accessed directly by high speed quad from base to summit. There’s night skiing on 17 trails and 80% snowmaking coverage.
Beginners will particularly enjoy the attentive staff, relaxed atmosphere and special ski school programmes to get them started including the award winning Mountain Magic first-timers program. The Learning Canter Beginner Area is serviced by a magic carpet, and more than likely your first chairlift ride will be up Gunshy – a double chair serving a small area of easy terrain away from the main mountain skiing.
The vast majority of the mountain terrain is graded intermediate to advanced intermediate with long trails to make those carves as you sweep down through the trees from the top of the Summit quad.
Experts have 27% of the terrain graded to them, and that includes more than half a dozen black diamond trails including Hotshot down below the upper section of the summit chair and Cannonball, over to the right. There are double black diamond glades next to Hotshot.
If you fancy adding to your skiing talents then there are race camps and Telemark ski courses.
You can stop by the Fischer Adventure Demo Center housed in a yurt to try out gear before you buy. There’s also a free ski and snowboard check to keep your equipment safe.
The Cross Country & Snowshoe Center is a full service retail, rental and lesson facility. Gunstock's 50 kilometers of trail network offers a variety for all skate, track set or backcountry skiing or snowshoeing abilities.
Boarding
For freestyling boarders and skiers the mountain offers two terrain parks serviced by their own lift.
The Gunstock Freestyle Academy offers Freestyle Ski or Snowboard camp sessions where you can learn to ride the Park and the Pipe with some of the best freestyle riders in the Lakes Region. These coaches design, build, and maintain the Guns
