About the Barn Theatre
The Barn Theatre was founded in 1946 by a bunch of theatre-loving folks in an old dairy barn, and is still going strong today in that same charming barn! We've been the launchpad for countless stars you've seen on Broadway, TV, and the big screen. Every summer, we open our doors to apprentices who want to learn the ropes of show business. In 1995, we started the Barn Theatre School for Advanced Theatre Training to provide comprehensive training in all aspects of theatre production. Under the guidance of its Board of Directors, the Barn Theatre continues its mission to nurture emerging talent, bring theatre to underserved youth, and inspire the next generation of "Barnies."
