Barnies for Life.
It’s more than just a saying, it’s a way of life around here at the Barn Theatre.
We have had the honor of working with apprentice actors just getting started in their careers, and watching them grow season after season. As our 73rd season approached Brendan Ragotzy, our producer and son of our founders, wanted to honor our past and present Barnies. The Wall of Fame was a perfect way to do just that.
The unveiling of our Wall of Fame welcomed 32 Famous Barnies. We invited all honorees to be special guests at our annual season kick-off Gala. They enjoyed a private unveiling and dinner together before the Gala. It was a wonderful time filled with stories of their time at the Barn.
