    What I’d Do Without You by Barbara Kincaid, Oglethorpe University

    Barter Theatre is partially funded by:

    This project was supported [in part] by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which receives support from the Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. 

    A special thanks to the Town of Abingdon, Washington County, and the Virginia Tourism Corporation for their support.
