Barter Theatre, Theatre building on Main Street, Abingdon, United States.
The Barter Theatre operates two performance spaces: the Gilliam Stage for traditional productions and the Smith Stage for contemporary shows.
Founded in 1933 during the Great Depression, the theatre allowed patrons to exchange food and produce for admission to performances.
The resident company performs over 25 productions annually, from classical plays to regional stories about Appalachian heritage.
The theatre presents shows from February through December, with performances scheduled Tuesday through Sunday at both stages.
The building, constructed in 1833 as Sinking Springs Presbyterian Church, stands as one of the oldest theatrical venues in America.
