Dear Friends of the Ridgefield Theater Barn,

It is my great pleasure, as Artistic and Executive Director, to welcome you to our 61st season! For over six decades, the Ridgefield Theater Barn has been a home for creativity, community, and extraordinary live performances, all within the intimate converted barn that makes our theater so unique. This year, we are thrilled to present a lineup that celebrates our rich history while pushing the boundaries of what community theater can be.

Our mainstage season opens with Thornton Wilder’s beloved classic, Our Town, a timeless exploration of life, love, and community that resonates as deeply today as it did when it first premiered. 

Then, as the holidays approach, gather your friends and family for a joyful, interactive experience with our read and sing-along version of A Christmas Carol—a festive tradition designed for all ages.

In the spring, we are delighted to continue our annual Evening of One Act Plays, a cherished event that showcases original works and fosters new connections among playwrights, directors, and actors in our community. This year’s program promises a diverse range of voices and stories, reflecting the collaborative spirit at the heart of the Barn.

We are especially excited to present Sybil’s Ride, a brand-new play with puppets about the teenage American Revolution-era patriot Sybil Luddington, written by Annie Evans, directed by Pam Arciero and production/puppet design by Martin P. Robinson—a magical collaboration sure to enrapture audiences of all ages. 

Our musical offering this season is Ordinary Days by Adam Gwon, a contemporary gem that beautifully captures the extraordinary moments in ordinary lives.

Beyond our mainstage productions, we invite you to experience the vibrant energy of our ongoing signature events. Piano Barn continues to bring together music lovers for evenings of song and camaraderie, while our ever-popular Whose Barn Is It Anyway? improv show guarantees laughter and surprises at every turn.

This year, we are launching our black box programming with a dynamic lineup. Highlights include a staged reading of Witches!? In Salem?!, and a performance of an original play inspired by the stories of Raymond Carver, offering bold, intimate theater experiences in our flexible performance space.

None of this would be possible without the passion and dedication of our volunteers, artists, and—most importantly—you, our patrons. Whether you are a longtime supporter or a first-time visitor, we invite you to bring your refreshments, settle in at your candlelit table, and join us for a season of unforgettable moments and community connection.

Thank you for being part of the Ridgefield Theater Barn family. Here’s to another remarkable year together!

With gratitude,

Pamme Jones
Artistic and Executive Director
