Payomet audiences expect national talent on the local stage. Amid the roar of applause for a Grammy-winning music artist, under the colored lights of our open-air dance floor, or at a performance of Shakespeare like you've never experienced before... the tent is magical. Our diverse programming can be summed up as “outside the box and inside the community.” In the off-season we produce our shows at various venues, including the First Congregational Church in Wellfleet, Wellfleet Preservation Hall, and Provincetown Town Hall.
