Barter Theatre opens its 2014 Season next week with a comedy that goes behind the scenes of one of the greatest movies of all time. 'Don't Cry for Me, Margaret Mitchell' is the true story of how three sleep-deprived men (and one very overworked secretary) had just seven days to save the movie "Gone With the Wind." Can they rewrite an entire movie script in one week - before they all go bananas?

This year Barter Theatre welcomes audiences for a season filled with stories of hope and connection, those that illuminate truths about the world and those that show the world as it could be. "Even the harshest moments of reality can give us hope and show us that we have the capacity to laugh at ourselves, to change, and to do better by our fellow travelers," said Richard Rose, Producing Artistic Director at Barter. "We believe that the stories we tell can change the world." It all begins January 31st.
