Barter Theatre

Barter is a resident company of passionate professional artists and leaders dedicated to serving and enriching our region by creating live theatre in repertory; by creating a nurturing environment for all involved; by embracing and celebrating Appalachia; by being stewards of the legacy of Barter Theatre; by using theatre as a vehicle for education; and by providing audiences, both youth and adult, with an extraordinary and enlightening experience each and every time they engage with us.

Historic Barter Theatre offers a wide variety of productions including world premieres, developing new works, musicals, and classics at three venues.  Programs include Barter’s professional productions, series for young audiences and national tours. We value a flexible and collaborative work environment.
