Ogunquit Playhouse project closer to $70M goal: New images show what's ahead

OGUNQUIT, Maine — The official timeline for the complete renovation of the Ogunquit Playhouse is expected to be announced during the first quarter of 2027, according to Deborah Warren, the theater’s managing director. Meanwhile, the Playhouse has raised just shy of 60% of the $70 million needed to complete the project, Warren added in an interview on Nov. 9. “We’ve secured $40 million, which is amazing in this very short window of fundraising,” Warren said. “We have an incredibly strong foundation of support, and we still have a significant amount to raise.” The renovation is being billed as a sweeping, three‑phase plan to ensure the beloved, historic Playhouse can thrive for the next century. Administrators say the project is essential because the theater, built in the 1930s, was never intended to last this long. Once the renovation is complete, the Playhouse will be a single large campus comprised of the theater itself, a rustic enrichment center, where students and others can work on their crafts, and next-door housing for the cast and crew of each production that hits the stage. Currently, Playhouse administrators are pursuing permitting for the project, with a final cost analysis to follow, Warren said. The theater

Dover residents raise warming center safety fears. City responds.

DOVER — The Veterans Hall building at 156 Back River Road will serve as a temporary emergency cold-weather warming center for unhoused people starting Nov. 15. Many neighboring residents are raising security and safety concerns. The temporary location is needed due to construction delays for the new Strafford County warming center being built on County Farm Road. The new center won't be ready for the start of the 2026-2027 season, which runs from mid-November to mid-April. The shelter opens on extremely cold nights or in severe winter storms, as directed by Dover, Rochester and Somersworth leaders. Dec. 15 is the new estimated open date for the new facility, according to city officials and Strafford County Commission Chairman George Maglaras. Until then, if needed, the Veterans Hall building will be used, Dover city officials announced last week. This is a change after city officials had initially announced the McConnell Center cafeteria would be used as the temporary site. Concerns raised by residents around the Veterans Hall include drug use and improper disposal of needles, according to those who reached out to Foster's Daily Democrat and posted in social media. Neighbors also claimed the building isn't adequate for the use and raised
