The barn theatre is just off the State Highway 96 by Augusta.[2]
The theatre originated in 1946 when Jack Ragotzy, Betty Ebert and others formed the Village Players troupe. After playing several seasons in a community hall in a former Methodist church (in Richland[2]), in 1949 Jack and Betty moved a dairy barn, which was converted into a theatre and was purchased by them in 1954.[4] It was incorporated as "The Barn Theatre" in 1949.[2][3] In 1951 it became an Equity theatre.[2]
Its first show was the Finian's Rainbow musical.[5]
