Welcome to the Barn Theatre!

We are a non-profit educational theatre located in Sudden Valley, Washington (just East of Bellingham).  We present 2-3 major productions per year and hold a 2 week Children's Theater Workshop every summer.

Do you have an interest in the theatre?  The casts are comprised entiely of volunteers, and there are many off-stage opportunities as well working with sound, lights, props, costumes and administration.  We'd love to have you!
