The Red Barn Summer Theatre is excited to announce the line-up for its 58th season, and thank Bailey Trucking for once again being our season sponsor. The Red Barn Summer Theatre will kick off the 2026 season with a world premiere, THE GERMAN TROPICS, from our fearless leader, Artistic Director Michael Taylor. To celebrate the 10th year under Michael's artistic vision, we've decided to begin the season with a door-slamming, pratfalling, knee-slapping good time. No one knows physical comedy quite like Mike! The company will be exhausted by the final bow from all of the running, jumping, and general goofiness of Taylor's newest work. Trust us, you don't want to miss it! Our thanks to The Farmers Bank for sponsoring THE GERMAN TROPICS.

A world premiere by Red Barn Artistic Director Michael J Taylor.
Welcome to "The German Tropics," a small bed-and-breakfast located on a 4-acre island just off the mainland. Timing couldn’t be worse for the proprietor, Mrs. Coates, as a tropical storm is set to hit the island on the busiest weekend of the year. Among the guests are Jack, a family friend, and his girlfriend, April. They have prepared for a romantic weekend, only to find that Jack’s crazy ex-girlfriend has decided to share the island with them, along with his boss, April’s father, who is unaware of their romantic involvement. The attempt to keep their secret, sets in motion all of the classic elements of farce: mistaken identities, ambushes, improbable situations, and, of course, lots of slamming doors. The action moves at a rapid pace, and things only get more complicated as a murderous, escaped convict finds the way onto the island just before the storm hits!

Donors and patrons often stop Michael and Luke on the lot and ask when we will move away from comedy and farce and do a show with a little more grit. It's been several seasons since we've done a murder mystery, and we've heard your feedback; for those clamoring for a thriller, enter WAIT UNTIL DARK! We look forward to thrilling our audiences with this daring tale of an unexpected victim who outthinks and outmaneuvers her captors. Zachary Confections is the sponsor for our WAIT UNTIL DARK.
