Barter’s Smith Theatre across Main Street from the Gilliam Stage. In this space is a smaller, more intimate stage at ground level, with three-quarter stadium-style seating which allows for a unique experience. Smith Theatre features 167 seats around a thrust stage. In some seats, patrons are only a few feet away from the performers. Barter’s Smith Theatre is favored by actors and audiences for its intimate setting which makes it perfect for innovative new productions, thrillers, and comedies.

Barter’s first production was in 1933, and the building that is home to Barter’s Gilliam Stage has a grand and rich history dating all the way back to 1831. The Historic Gilliam Stage is a proscenium style that accommodates up to 506 patrons. This stage is a traditional proscenium-style theatre, with seating downstairs in the orchestra or upstairs in the balcony.
