Players' Ring

Known across Northern New England for original reinterpretations of classics and a deep commitment to new work, the Players Ring theatre—affectionately known as The Ring—is a nonprofit performing arts hub located in the historic seacoast city of Portsmouth, NH. Housed in a City-owned historic property, we provide an intimate 75-seat venue for live theater in New Hampshire, welcoming over 9,000 patrons annually to our black box space in the heart of Prescott Park. For over three decades, The Ring has nurtured local artists and brought powerful, original performances to the stage—contributing to the creative economy of the region and enriching the cultural vitality of the Seacoast. Whether you re an artist, a longtime theatre lover, a visiting tourist, or a small business looking to give back, we invite you to discover the Ring: where live performance meets joy and community impact.
