The Barn Theatre is the home of the Ross Valley Players, the oldest continually-operating community theater group on the West Coast. Located in Ross, California, the Barn Theatre was converted from a barn in the 1930s to a theatre.
The Ross Valley Players is located on the grounds of the Marin Art & Garden Center. Each season, running from September through August, includes six plays in full production, a Holiday Show in December and two Festivals.
Famous quotes containing the words barn and/or theatre:
“A barn shall harbour heaven,
A stall become a shrine.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“Glorious bouquets and storms of applause ... are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one’s own life.”
—Dame Alice Markova (b. 1910)
