Barnstormers Theatre Income

The Barnstormers is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization that relies on the generosity of its patrons who support its programs including:  professional summer theatre, apprenticeships, and the theatre’s availability to other local performing arts groups in the fall and spring.

Like most theatres nationwide, ticket sales account for a portion of income needs, so every gift to The Barnstormers is greatly appreciated.  Donors are vital in each and every production. Those who contribute are recognized in our season program.

  • 1st time here and This place is just amazing. Comfortable seats /accommodating and friendly staff/cool theatre and easy to get in and out. The performance was better than I’ve seen in Boston …..you could see and FEEL the characters! The standing ovation at the end was brilliant and well deserved. Can’t wait to go back.
