BARTER THEATRE OPENS FALL PRODUCTIONS
(Abingdon, VA) — As the leaves turn and temperatures cool, visitors at Barter Theatre can enjoy four different productions in repertory rotation.
On its main Gillam stage this fall, Barter will present Agatha Christie’s classic murder-mystery story Murder on the Orient Express, and Ripcord, a high-stakes comedy about two women locked in a no-holds-barred battle of wills.
In Barter’s second, more intimate venue, the Smith Theatre, The Royale follows the first Black heavyweight champion as he fights for his place in history. For audiences of all ages (especially young audiences), The Barter Players will present Tuck Everlasting. Based on the classic novel by Natalie Babbitt, the story is about a young girl who stumbles upon a family’s stunning secret.
Barter’s ticket prices start at an affordable $20 ($16 for shows by The Barter Players).
The 2022 season at Barter is dedicated to the theme “Common Ground,” as each show
features people who have deep differences finding their strength in one another.
