Barter Theatre.
The Barter Theatre opened its doors in 1933 amid the Great Depression, to bring hope and joy back to the American Population through theatrical performances. To make the theatre accessible to all, founder Robert Porterfield came up with a revolutionary idea that patrons had the option to pay for tickets or give the value of a ticket in unsold vegetables. Surprisingly, this unique way of paying was a hit amongst the locals, and shows were often sold out during the theatre’s first season. Throughout the year, the theatre puts on a fantastic array of performances from classics such as Shakespeare to musicals such as Cabaret or the Wizard of Oz.
