1934, New England, USA. Two inspiring young teachers, Karen Wright and Martha Dobie, run a boarding school for girls. A disaffected young student – Mary Tilford – runs away from the school and, to avoid being sent back, she makes up a lie about her teachers, falsely claiming that Karen and Martha are having a sexual relationship. The accusation destroys the school and the lives of everyone in it…

Welcome to the Barn Theatre. Here you can find out about what’s going on and who we are, and you can also buy tickets for all our productions. I’m sure you’ll find something you want to watch.

We are well into the season and audiences are enjoying the wide selection of plays. The casts and crews are ready and auditions and rehearsals are under way for productions later in the season.

We have a thriving membership, and our club nights are very popular, including Jazz at the Barn and comedy nights. There’s also Singers at the Barn every month.

Please think about joining us and playing a part, as every show needs lots of volunteers on stage, backstage and helping out with the bar and box office. The Barn is open to everyone, and it’s a great way to make new friends. There’s a link on the Membership page where you can join.

I look forward to seeing you at the theatre.
