Purpose

Why Theatre ? 
Why The Arts?
These can be crazy times and people , young and old, can ask themselves where do I fit in ? Or what can I do to make a difference? 
What is my purpose? - We all need a purpose.
Theatre is much more then plays - pull the curtain back and have a look- what do you see? 
People - young people that are looking for that place where they fit in and are not judged and a place they can feel pride and just be themselves.
You see older people that may have had to work and struggle their whole lives and never had the opportunity to pursue something that they always wanted or maybe they loss a spouse and want to fill that void with something positive.
You see people coming together regardless of race or religion or politics or where they live for the same goals , to learn and laugh and feel the acceleration of accomplishments and working together.
Bonds are made that last a life time. 
You see The Playhouse is a building , a space - it is the people that give it life, that give it a purpose and what makes it special.
At the Arctic Playhouse we have no desire to be the biggest, we do not want to seat 1000 plus people and have actors from around the world, we want to be about the community, about New England about the people.
There are hundreds of great , talented people that just need a space to work to their craft or to volunteer and be a part of something bigger then them.
Get involved- jump in - volunteer- donate - Fill that purpose!
