Why support The Barn Theatre?
“Community theatre enriches the lives of those who take an active part in it, as well as those in the community who benefit from live theatre productions.

Thousands of volunteer performers, producers, directors, set builders, house managers and others have come through our doors over the decades. Some families have been involved for several generations! Our doors remain open with an invitation to YOU to get involved. Your donation supports all of our program activities and brings The Barn to life!
