Powerhouse Theatre Collaborative

Powerhouse Theatre Collaborative was created in 2020 to become the resident theatre company of the Belknap Mill and the Colonial Theatre in Laconia, NH. The Belknap Mill and the Colonial Theatre are both unique, historic gathering places located in downtown Laconia which have provided the foundations for Laconia’s artistic, cultural, industrial, and educational life. Both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a tremendous commitment has been made to preserve their historical significance. The Belknap Mill, originally built in 1823, is the only remaining example of an architectural style once common during the industrial revolution in New England. The Colonial Theatre, built in 1914, is a beautiful representation of the Neocolonial style popular in that day. Powerhouse Theatre was founded as a program of the Belknap Mill Society.
