February 10, 2022Intimate, professional, local, and always fun! We have attended shows at The Barn for almost 25 years and it just gets better. An institution in SW Michigan and a great opportunity to see live theater at an affordable price.

October 9, 2021Love this unique venue! Small but mighty! The rehearsal shed and coke barn always have a line (that moves very quick) but the new Saloon was quick to grab a drink at intermission with no line! Fun to have the stars of the show be who serves you

August 23, 2021Escanaba in Da Moonlight was such an awesome, hilarious show. It's always a fun, entertaining time at the Barn Theatre. Staff are all fun and friendly, not a bad seat in the house. Be sure to visit the Shed before or after the show for a snack or cocktail.

September 30, 2022Even though this place is over an hour from our home, my husband and I are sure to go here once or twice per season. We have never been disappointed. The acting is great and the staff is so down to earth and friendly! Check it out! You won't be disappointed.

August 12, 2022We went to Rock of Ages on the night the power went out. They didn't miss a beat and the performance was even better because of how wonderfully they responded. Bravo!!!

August 14, 2022What’s not to love about The Barn? I didn’t attend a show until a few years after I moved to Kalamazoo. I attended my first show a few years ago with some friends and have been to several more since. They always have a number of interesting shows as part of each season (even if not everything catches your interest). Have been to three shows this summer. Historic venue, great history of famous actors training at The Barn and excellent atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

August 31, 2022A wonderful theater, 75 years of great entertainment. Just saw Rocky Horror Show, great interactive experience. If you enjoy live theater or have never been this is a must.
Jon Krause
October 24, 2021Been coming here for years and it just keeps getting better with the extras they do like the Pizza oven and park like setting at the side of entrance that you can grab a beer/wine from the new bar and sit for the show to start. The seats have more leg room now and the AC is strong on those warm nights. Also go to the bar show after main show! A great night of live entertainment.
