Images of Virginia (10 of 10)_ The Barter Theatre




The historic Barter Theatre is located in the foothills of southwestern Virginia, in Abingdon and it is actually much closer to Knoxville, TN, than my hometown of Roanoke, which is considered to be the 'capital' of southwest Virginia.

Among actors who have been in plays at the Barter are the late Gregory Peck and Kevin Spacey.

The Barter is currently performing a musical version of "Miracle on 34th Street," music by Doug Smith and books/lyrics by Vern Stefanic, as well as "Another Night Before Christmas," a comedy with music by Sean Grennan and Leah Okimoto.
