Just this morning the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters had their annual Granite Mikes presentation. Due to COVID-19 the ceremony was broadcast virtually via ZOOM. Every year the radio and television broadcasters from all over New Hampshire get together to discuss the industry and recognize those who have done outstanding work in their field.
2020 proved to be a challenging year for all but despite that, Mount Washington Radio was still nominated for numerous awards and once again earned a few.
First, our Afternoon Community Connections Show; Drive Time: A Valley Update on COVID 19 featuring Memorial Hospital won a Merit Award for “NH’s Best Local Special Program/Event”.
Next, Magic 104 was awarded “NH’s Best Use of Digital Media” for their collaboration with Sea Dog Brewery and the Conway Area Humane Society, Sea Dog to the Rescue.
And last but certainly not least, Magic 104’s Gino and The Magic Morning Show was awarded “NH’s Best Morning Show“. This is Gino’s second time winning this award, the first time was back in 2017.
“The Best Morning Show category is not an easy award to win once, let alone twice, and we could not be more proud of Gino and his show,” says Mount Washington Radio Owner and General Manager Greg Frizzell, “We see all the hard work that goes into creating the morning show each day and we are so happy that it was once again recognized on a state level.”

M&D Playhouse Announces Cancellation of Season
M&D Playhouse at the Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse has announced the suspension of the remainder of the 2020 season. Citing current news predicting further COVID surges and a re-evaluation of the spread through ventilation systems and potentially more dangerous transmission the organization’s board of directors has made the tough decision to cease operations until spring 2021.
A year that began as a celebration of the 20th Anniversary of M&D Playhouse became a year of challenge for this company as well as all businesses in the community. After a tremendously successful presentation of THE ODD COUPLE, programming was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic just weeks before the opening of the Theatre Arts Studio production of MATILDA the Musical. In addition, the theatre lost the ability to present the much-anticipated summer season which included CLUE Onstage, CABARET and a return of the singing competition VOICE OF THE VALLEY.
M&D ventured to bring a series of plays in September/October abiding by CDC guidelines and all precautions to keep actors, staff, volunteers and patrons safe, but attendance was minimal and they had to take a hard look at the future of the company.
“We are so disappointed to come to this conclusion”, said Deborah Jasien, Executive Director. “Our organization maintained the highest level of security protocols during this time and while we feel confident in the safety of our theatre space we have come to the undeniable reality that our audiences are not ready to come back to the playhouse.
With 37 NH Theatre Awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award for founding director Ken Martin, and the NETC Award for Excellence in the American Theatre, M&D has proven that quality live theatre has a place in this vibrant community.
“While we wait to see what the long-lasting effects Covid-19 will have on entertainment venues, we are hopeful we can get back to producing live theatre to the community in 2021 and will be announcing our new season by the end of the year,” said Artistic Director Mark Sickler. “In the meantime, we are now exploring potential virtual alternatives, including a one man presentation of A Christmas Carol”.
”Our community has been very generous through these challenging times and we are grateful. We hope for continued support as it will be instrumental in launching our 2021 season,” said Jasien.
M&D Playhouse, an IRS 501(c)3 non-profit organization, became the theatre in residence at the historic Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse in 2019, after 10 years at Willow Commons. For more information or to make a donation, please visit MDPlayhouse.com.
