Our 25th anniversary season
Another season of ALL ORIGINAL productions!
Our original scripts are being produced from the U.K. to Australia, as well as in North America.
BarnDoor Productions is not just another local amateur night;
our scripts are having an impact elsewhere and you can see them HERE first!
In 1995, we started off with a special one-off production.
It's now 25 years later -- and, my, how the little baby has grown!
All we need is you -- on stage and in the audience!
Of course, COVID-19 kicked the legs from under the season,
but we are finding ways to stay active and vibrant.
To do that, we need you to be involved: go to our AUDITIONS page to find out what's in the works.
Here's the lineup for our 2019-2020 season
November 29 to Decmber 15, 2019
