M&D Productions

With community at our core, M&D Playhouse creates a home for exceptional theatrical experiences that inspire and enrich the lives of audiences and local artists.

M&D Playhouse believes that the performing arts, in all forms, are a valuable experience that adds to the vibrancy and culture of our community and enriches the lives of those who live here. Promoting and preserving the arts is an important aspect of our mission and we are proud to offer opportunities through education and participation. Whether onstage, backstage, or as a volunteer, children to adults will find the perfect place to explore and discover their creative souls. We also believe that theatre should be accessible to all and to that end we offer many low to no-cost opportunities for members of our local community to enjoy theatre.

M&D Playhouse offers exciting and entertaining, year-round live theatre in the heart of North Conway Village. With a stellar reputation for high-quality, thought-provoking productions, M&D presents everything from drama and musicals to comedy, workshops, and more.

M&D Playhouse has garnered over 37 NH Theatre Awards in the past 25 years, including the Francis Grover Cleveland Lifetime Achievement Award for founding director Ken Martin, and the NETC Award for Excellence in the American Theatre. Now under new leadership with current Producing Artistic Director Madison Smith, M&D's 26th season is underway. We're looking ahead to the future, with plans to continue updating our physical space as well as providing new opportunities for our community to experience theatre with M&D. 

M&D Playhouse is an IRS 501(c)3 non-profit organization. M&D became the theatre in residence at the Eastern Slope Inn in 2019, after 10 years at Willow Commons. The playhouse requires renovation and repair, and while much work has been completed already, there is still plenty of work to be done!
