The Majestic is conveniently located on Manchester’s West Side drawing crowds from all of southern New Hampshire and beyond.
The Majestic Theatre provides artistic enrichment for the community through the programming of family-oriented productions and educational opportunities.
The Majestic’s Programs & Activities:
Majestic Productions ~ The Majestic Theatre features a year-long production season. We produce several traditional musicals and plays of diverse subjects each year. Productions are performed at the 300 seat Monsignor Pierre Hevey Theatre in the former St. Marie School Building in Manchester. In an effort to help all that want to experience the theatre we strive to make our shows affordable, family-friendly and fun. Recent productions include “Les Miserable: School Edition,” “AIDA,” “Oliver,” “Forever Plaid” and “Nunsensations” among others.
The Majestic Academy of Dramatic Arts ~ In 2008 The Majestic combined youth and teen companies into an all-new Academy of Dramatic Arts. This includes a year-long season of performing opportunities as well as revitalized and enhanced educational programs for ages 7-17. Educational offerings include classes, workshops, summer theatre camps (ages 4-17) and other opportunities. The Academy is designed to expand the knowledge and love of theatre arts by all involved. We continue to present a touring production led by a group of teens actors in which the teens produce and perform a children’s musical to tour local libraries and community centers.
