A SAFE AND ENTHRALLING NEW SEASON!

If you're anything like us, we know you've been champing at the bit to get back into our theatre for some top-notch professional performances of some really intriguing new shows. Well, we have a great new season all set for you!

We'll kick it off December 28, 2021 through January 29, 2022 with the engrossing mock-docu-comedy Cats Talk Back, by award-winning New York playwright Bess Wohl, in which several actors who supposedly spent a good part of their lives performing in one of Broadway's longest-running musicals reminisce about their experiences as felines on stage. There are a few surprises, however, so be ready!

Next, February 15 through March 12, we'll bring you the South Florida premiere of Hy Conrad's wickedly funny new play, Quarantine for Two. Hy, the well-known Key West resident who wrote a good many of the Monk episodes, as well as White Collar, and the recent hit, The Good Cop, has taken the trials and tribulations of our pandemic quarantine and turned them hilariously on their heads. The play mixes comedy, intrigue, (and of course) murder, and a neck-bending twist that you won't see coming.

March 22 through April 16, we present Hurricane Diane, the unconventional new comedy from Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George, where the Greek god Dionysus returns to the modern world disguised as the butch gardener Diane, whose secret mission is to seduce mortal followers and restore the earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than with four real housewives from New Jersey? It's a very funny show, but don't let that fool you -- there are some very significant ideas buried within the laughs.

And we end our new season April 29-May 1 with the adorable How To Eat Like a Child and Other Lessons in Not Being Grown Up, starring a host of Key West's finest young and playful actors. The show is based on a book by Nora Ephron, who also wrote the play, along with music and lyrics by John Forster. It's a hilarious romp through the joys and sorrows of being a child, and will touch the child inside everyone in the theater. Our wonderful child actors give 23 lessons in subjects like how to beg for a dog, how to torture your sister, how to act after being sent to your room and how to laugh hysterically. But it's a limited run, so make sure you get your tickets early.

And if you're still uneasy about attending the theater, let us assure you -- we are taking every precaution. The Red Barn has been certified as a Covid Compliant Theater. Our staff has attended the classes at Arts and Science LLC, and we will follow all safety protocols outlined there. The theater will be cleaned and disinfected before each performance, and we'll be asking all our patrons to follow the basic Covid safety protocols...it's the only way we can keep everyone safe so we can once again enjoy our theater.

Tickets for our new season will be available soon. Watch this website and our FaceBook page for more information.
