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)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
