Pontine Theatre Presents A New England Christmas

The Moultonborough Library welcomes back Marguerite and Greg from Pontine Theatre for their 2025 holiday show, A New England Christmas, an original staging of two 19th-century short stories on December 17, 4 to 5 pm. 

The Pontine Theatre is a two-person ensemble formed by Marguerite Mathews and Gregory Gathers. Since their founding in 1978, the Pontine Theatre has produced over 50 original works, which they have performed all over New England in non-traditional venues: senior centers, art galleries, libraries and museums. 

This season, Pontine will perform two treasured seasonal tales,  “A Speakin’ Ghost” and “Christmas Back Home.”  Pontine’s stagings are intended for adult audiences, but older children will also enjoy the show. Their shows often feature antique stage techniques including rolling panoramas, puppetry, and toy theatre figures to bring stories alive onstage.

This program is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Moultonborough Library.
