Briggs Opera House has a great professional theatre group. They bring a lot of actors up from NYC and always put on an interesting show. It's a small stage and you are part of the experience-sometimes placing seating right on the stage. They have earned a great reputation for being professional and creative with a very small area to work in especially the Christmas Show. Usually shows run from Oct.-May and I would highly recommend checking the schedule if you're visiting the Upper Valley. You can get some great deals (seats as low as $10) at the last minute.
Have been a season ticket holder since 2001. Professional productions in an intimate atmosphere. Many Equity players in cast. Productions are highly professional. If you would like to see the show, I would recommend without reservation that you go.
We own a 2nd home in nearby Quechee, Vt and whenever we are up in that area, we will make it a point to get tickets for any performance put on by Northern Stage. And I promise you we have never been disappointed! On the contrary, we are always amazed at the level of talent and high quality entertainment provided by the people associated with Northern Stage. We can't wait to move up to the area permanently to become season ticket holders!!
Very high quality productions at a reasonable price. All seats provide good viewing close to the stage.
Very impressed by the quality of the shows they put on. I try and make it to a couple a year and always wish I had the time for more. I was Importance of Being Ernest and Peter Pan. Both exceptional! Glad to see this year they are doing a Christmas Show!
There are revolving events at the opera house. A beautifully restored space for theatre and the arts.
Briggs Opera House in White River Junction is the home of Northern Stage. This local theater company brings professional quality theater to the Upper Valley of New Hampshire and Vermont. This is NOT 'community theater'. It's well-crafted, well staged contemporary theater in a thrust-stage venue which engages its audience. Check out their offerings and prepare for a lovely event.
We saw Annie and had seats on the side of the stage. The actors were absolutely amazing!! The sound is excellent in this small theater and the stage props were incredibly well done...absolutely professional! I'd recommend getting center section seats if possible as the view from the side is truly from the side! But its still worth it!
good seats, good price and wonderful play There is not a bad seat in the place. It was almost like being right there in the midst of everything
We did not expect to find any good theater performances in the remote part of Vermont we recently visited, because there were only small villages in the nearby driving area; however, we were told at our B&B in Chester, Vermont, of Northern Stage performances in the small village of White River Junction, about one-half hour away by car. We saw Born Yesterday in the Briggs Opera House, and we had a great time, as apparently did the rest of the audience, judging by the laughs and applause. It's a small theater, but the performance certainly justified the drive. What an unexpected treat!
