They are a unique theater company that specializes in something different than “traditional theater”. They perform Melodramas (Old Fashioned, brought back like the originals years ago), Modern Melodramas, One-Acts, Dinner Theater, Storytelling through Dance, Vaudeville, Oleo Acts, Impromptu, Radio Shows, and much more…
They want to provide an experience for the audience and the performers that they wouldn’t necessarily see or perform at a traditional community theater. It is also our mission to always create a family friendly atmosphere appropriate for all ages.
Old Barn Community Theater
3605 Bigler Road Collinston, Utah
435-458-BARN (435-458-2276)
It was Christmas in 1998 that The Old Barn Community Theatre first opened its doors. The very first production was “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”. Now it has been 15 years since that first show. For 15 wonderful years, and in 72 unique productions, talented individuals, too numerous to count, have donated energy, time and financial assistance to this incredible project.
In that time they have taken their audience to the Midwest prairies and to the Austrian Alps. They have traveled along the Yellow Brick Road and up the Mississippi River. They have flown with Peter, danced with Cinderella and played the trumpet with a band of boys. They have experienced the intensity of a jury room and the laughter of a beauty parlor. They’ve traveled to ancient Egypt, the tunnels of New York, and to places and lands of pure imagination. They have spent time in lonesome mountain cabins, enchanted castles and in homes seeing real life at work . They have looked at families, both rich and poor, laughed with them and cried with them. They have sung the songs of Disney, laughed at the stories of Dr. Seuss and felt the joy as Scrooge redeems himself. On their stage they have danced in the rain, sung in the snow, and bounced in their seats as they were taken back in time with music from days gone by.
