1. We own our theatre. 

We do not have to rent venues, such as village halls, etc. nor do we have to set up lights, sound and sets at the last minute before opening night. We have the facility and ability to provide solidly constructed and realistic sets, providing a professional backdrop to all our productions.

2. We are a Supper Theatre, with Bar

The theatre has a licensed bar and we provide a limited seating area for diners before a show. This offers the audience the opportunity to relax and enjoy good food before the main event of the evening. This pre-show dinner provides a bistro atmosphere and is enjoyed to the full by staff and eaters alike. Diners may bring their own beverages and we are licensed and so non-diners may enjoy a drink. 

3. We have a flexible auditorium/stage.

We are not encumbered by a proscenium arch and curtains. We have a moveable thrust area that brings the performers into the audience. This provides a "theatre in the round" effect, with audiences enjoying the performers from three sides. The theatre is very intimate with a maximum capacity of 66 seats.

4. Organisation.

We have a very strong committee system which ensures that long-term and short-term plans are carried out in the best interests of the theatre and its members. Committee members are elected every year from the participating club membership.

We pride ourselves on the high standard of productions and our efforts to maintain that standard. The feedback we get from our audience confirms our decisions and influences our future planning.

We offer the opportunity for actors/actresses from other local theatre clubs to perform at The Barn. This strengthens our performances and helps everyone develop, rather than stagnate.

5. Productions

Our choice of production is very important to us and we feel we have provided a very balanced programme over the years. This has, once again, been confirmed by our audience. We try to provide one major musical production a year, at least two comedies, one drama and something that provides humour and interest, or originality.
