Our mission is to provide affordable, high-quality entertainment & theater to locals & visitors alike.
SUPPORT THE ARTS
HACKMATACK FARM
The land at Hackmatack has been farmed by the Guptill family in various forms since the 1680s. Today we raise 100% grass-fed American bison (or buffalo) and heritage breed Mangalista pigs. Our farm store is open seasonally April - November.
HISTORY OF HACKMATACK
Hackmatack was founded in 1972 by S. Carleton Guptill, who envisioned a summer stock theater that would showcase the talents of professional and developing thespians from the regional New England area. Since then, Hackmatack has grown into a keystone of the Seacoast art scene.
BECOME A HACKMATACK HOST!
We are looking for theater lovers to open their homes as Hackmatack Hosts for visiting out of state actors!
Hosts receive free season passes, a special pre-show Happy Hour for you and your friends and a gift box of Homemade Hackmatack goodies. And of course, Hosts will have the pleasure of introducing folks “from away” to the joys of summertime in Maine!
Your hospitality will fuel cultural exchange and foster vibrant connections by supporting local arts and community institutions.
