HISTORY
Theater has a rich history as a small Catholic Chapel, owned by the Manchester Diocese. Built at the end of the nineteenth century on land purchased from Arthur Johnson, The Sacred Heart Chapel was an important part of community life for almost a century.

Irene Bildeau Leavitt was, in 1908, the first person baptized in the chapel, and used to tell wonderful stories of her time there with its congregation. She remembered several weekly masses that were often attended by boys and girls from the many summer camps in the area, as well as by the year-round residents of Holderness, Ashland and Sandwich.

The chapel was built, in part, to accommodate worshippers from the area who found water transportation easier than traveling by land. The Asquam Transportation Company (a Squam-Lakes ferry company that went out of business soon after the automobile was invented) would carry passengers to the three docks that were on the chapel's property.
