| Barter Theatre |
|
|
Barter Theatre, located in Abingdon, Virginia, opened on June 10, 1933. It is one of the longest running professional theatres in the nation. The original ticket price for a play was 35 cents. In 1933, when the country was in the middle of the Great Depression, most patrons were not able to pay the full ticket price. Robert Porterfield, founder of the theatre, offered admittance by letting the local people pay with food goods, hence the name "Barter". In 1946, Barter Theatre was designated the State Theatre of Virginia.
Today, Barter is one of the last, year-round professional resident repertory theatres remaining in the United States. In 2006, over 160,000 patrons passed through its historic stages enjoying productions from Shakespeare to new, Appalachian-themed plays.Many well-known stars of stage, screen and television have launched their careers at Barter, including Gregory Peck, Ernest Borgnine, Patricia Neal, Ned Beatty, Hume Cronyn, Gary Collins, Jim Varney, Kevin Spacey, Larry Linville and Wayne Knight.
