RED BARN’S 2025-2026 SEASON
THE RED BARN’S “SPRING BOGO” A REAL SWEET TREAT
Key West Locals Only: “Buy One, Get One FREE” ticket special for the entire month of April for any show at Red Barn
Key West’s Red Barn Theatre is giving local Monroe County residents a pleasant and much-needed financial break in these unprecedented times – a “Buy One, Get One” ticket special for the entire month of April for any show at the theater.
All you have to do is come to the Red Barn box office – at 319 Duval Street, behind the Woman’s Club – and show your Monroe County ID, and you’ll get a free ticket for every regular ticket you purchase. In some seat categories, that could be a savings of up to $80.
“These are tough times financially right now,” said Mimi McDonald, the Barn’s Managing Director. “Everyday things have gotten so expensive. We thought we’d make it a little easier for folks to come out and have a good time. And it’s also a way we can thank our locals for what has turned out to be a great season for us.”
And right now, the Red Barn’s mainstage show is a really good one. “A Rock Sails By”, by prolific playwright Sean Grennan, runs March 31 through April 25, with all curtains at 7:30 pm. It has garnered high critical praise for its script and emotional depth.
The play explores the great questions of our time: Is there life beyond our planet? What happens after death? Why is life, in all its beauty, filled with fear, anger, and hatred? And, perhaps one of the most complicated of questions – What’s the point? It tells the story of an astrophysicist, Dr. Lynn Cummings, who, while investigating a mysterious interstellar object nearing earth, finds herself dealing with personal grief, physical and mental decline, challenges to her professional reputation, and trying to reconnect with her daughter. She’s always believed in science, but now that her life is changing, the certainty that was once a source of comfort to her has become a source of emptiness. How she deals with the collision of all these new elements in her life is what gives the play its beating heart.
Broadway World called the play “…smart, witty, and relatable…a thought-provoking story filled with wit, humor, and emotion.” Coral Gables Magazine said it was “A soul-searching delight.”
This production is sponsored in part by Berkshire Hathaway and Stanley Kovak, as well as the Monroe County Tourist Development Council.
BOGO tickets are only available by visiting the box office at 319 Duval Street during regular hours. Be sure to bring your Monroe County ID.

With their next mainstage production, Key West’s Red Barn Theatre takes on nothing less than the intersection of science and faith, the unknown, and the human condition in general. Not a small task for 90 minutes, but they do it all with humor, heart, and touching emotion.
“A Rock Sails By”, by prolific playwright Sean Grennan, runs March 31 through April 25, with all curtains at 7:30 pm. It has garnered high critical praise for its script and emotional depth.
Celebrating 46 years
In 1980, a spirited group of actors and technicians renovated the theatre, opening the doors of the Red Barn Theatre under the incorporated name of the Red Barn Actors Studio, Inc.
Mimi and Gary McDonald along with Joy Hawkins were a part of that original lively group, and their enthusiasm and love for the Red Barn Theatre is still an important part of what keeps the Red Barn growing!
