MEREDITH — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse community is celebrating the financial support generated by a challenge program this summer.

Longtime friends and supporters Sharon and Paul Steinwachs proposed a challenge during the summer. They would match, dollar-for-dollar, donations made from new contributions to the playhouse, up to $20,000.

A campaign to reach new support began in June and continued throughout the professional summer season, ending Sept. 30. The goal was exceeded, and the Steinwachs agreed to match the total $28,000 raised.

“Especially encouraging is that these contributors represent first-time gifts along with some plus giving we could not have anticipated. And each new supporting donation is not only of financial benefit, but a vote of support for the productions and programs we create at the playhouse,” said Neil Pankhurst, founder and producing artistic director.
