Barter Theatre announced the homecoming much of the community has been waiting for. For the first time since 2019, Barter will be reopening its doors at Gilliam Stage for the fall production of “Frankenstein,” which runs Sept. 30 through Halloween night, Oct. 31.
Barter Theatre is also continuing to perform at the Moonlite Drive-In this fall. “Rockin’ at the Moonlite,” a musical review featuring Barter actors singing the roots of rock through today, is showing from Sept. 24 through Oct. 23.
This reopening is met with much enthusiasm by the community as well as some caution regarding safety. Barter Theatre is taking precautions based on both CDC and governmental guidelines, along with recommendations from their Medical Advisory Board. In an audience survey conducted by the theatre, 73.9% of participants indicated that they feel safe and comfortable enough to attend indoor performances again.
Producing Artistic Director Katy Brown says that “safety is a top concern” and extends her thanks to everyone in the community who have been following Barter’s story over the past year. “Without them, none of this would be possible,” Brown said, “We’re taking safety very seriously, and we’re excited to be back home in the theater we know and love, serving this community as we always have.”
