Long-time friend of the Red Barn, Bailey Trucking, will once again be the Season Sponsor for 2023. Community Outreach and Business Manager Bethany Sheets said that by partnering with local sponsors the Red Barn is able to continue to offer access to theatre at an affordable cost. “We can’t thank Bailey Trucking enough for supporting the arts in Clinton County! Bailey Trucking is a true community partner and we are very appreciative for their ongoing support of the Barn.” Sheets stated.
Goodwin’s and Archer-Weston Funeral Homes will be sponsoring the three “Opening Nights” again this year, with live music prior to the show and “First-Nighter” souvenirs for the audience.
Heather’s Flowers will again be presenting “Music on the Lawn” prior to every Friday and Saturday performance. “Music on the Lawn” will feature a wide variety of talented local musicians from 6:15 to 7:15 and is free to all ticket holders.
The Barn continues its partnership with Blackhawk Winery of Sheridan so that “The Cellar” picnic area will be open for business every Friday and Saturday as well as each Opening Nights.

“We have loved all the new faces at the Red Barn the past couple of years!” Sheets expressed. “We’re glad that folks are finding us and coming out for the first time or returning after several years of not attending. There’s been a lot of changes and fresh, new elements added to your Red Barn experience. But all the charm, tradition and talent are just as excellent as it’s always been!” Sheets concluded.
The productions this summer will be See How They Run, Boeing Boeing and Curtains! A Musical Comedy Whodunit. The Red Barn season runs from June 7 through July 16. All evening shows will begin at 7:30, matinee performances at 2:00.
