The Red Barn Summer Theatre in Frankfort is calling on community volunteers to help kick off the season with its annual spring clean-up event this Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Organizers say the gathering will focus on preparing the theatre grounds for the upcoming summer season by picking up sticks, raking leaves, and tidying the outdoor spaces. The event is being led by master gardener and Barnstormers coordinator Andi Slipher, who is encouraging residents of all ages and abilities to take part.
Participants are welcome to come for the entire duration or stop by for as long as they are able. While the event includes light physical labor, organizers emphasize that everyone is welcome—even those who simply want to visit, socialize, or enjoy refreshments.
Snacks and beverages, including coffee and pastries, will be provided throughout the morning to volunteers.
The clean-up is considered an unofficial but beloved start to the theatre’s season, often referred to by participants as the “real first event” before the official summer kickoff.
Community members are encouraged to bring gloves, rakes, and other yard tools if available, and join in helping prepare the grounds for another season of performances at the Red Barn Summer Theatre.
