Just had a quick Q for you all. I recently was offered a part in an upcoming show at the NY Theater Barn, 'bout 2 hours out of the city north. ( I currently live in Queens.)
Anyone seen any of their shows or know anyone who has collaborated with them before? ANY oppinions? ANY thoughts? ANY advice?
It's pretty good. I knew someone in a show there last summer and went up to see their production of Johnny Guitar. I was impressed. It's beautiful up there too. And from what I hear, their housing for their cast is better than some others I've heard about.
Good luck!

2 hours is about right-maybe a little more with traffic. They always do interesting stuff. For instance-When the Mac-Haydn Theater (their closest competitor) was doing Lil Abner, I think theater barn was doing Zombie Prom.
Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?
Definatley do it! Its a great place, and yes they don't do your run of the mill summer stock fare. Its a small theatre with a supportive audience, lovely location, and a great cast house just a short walk away from the theatre! The producers are VERY sweet and the quality of the production is very very good! Johnny Guitar was awesome! As was Zombie Prom! I saw them both. This summer, I can't wait for Musical of Musicals! I know the two women who have been cast and they are both AWESOME!
