Stage Too! is Ossipee’s intimate showcase stage. Set among the pines in a shady grove, Stage TOO! is a wonderful spot to gather during the heat of an Ossipee afternoon. It’s also home to our showcase of regional and up and coming artists from New England and beyond!
The Stage TOO! Showcase features a variety of musical styles, and gives performers a beautiful spot to engage with a festival audience in a more intimate setting. In 2023 nearly 150 performers applied for one of the 12 spots in the Stage TOO! Showcase. It was incredibly hard to select only 12, and you can click here to see the 2023 lineup.
You never know who you’ll find on Stage TOO!, including many guest artists appearing on our Maine Stage. Past Maine Stage guests on Stage TOO! have included The Infamous Stringdusters, AJ Lee & Blue Summit, The California Honeydrops, The Stray Birds, Big Richard, Kelly Willis-Brennen Leigh-Melissa Carper, and many more!
We are now accepting performer applications for the 2024 Stage Too! Showcase. If you would like to be part of the 2024 showcase, go to the “Participate - Perform” link in the menu at the top of this page.
