The second show of the Red Barn Summer Theatre’s 58th season will be the thriller “Wait Until Dark,” by Fredrick Knott, adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, and sponsored by Zachary Confections of Frankfort. “Wait Until Dark”, based on the classic suspense film starring Audrey Hepburn, opens on Wednesday, June 24th, and will run Wednesdays through Sundays for two weeks. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m., except for Sunday matinees, which start at 2:00 p.m.

In 1944, in Greenwich Village, Susan Hendrix, a blind yet capable woman, is imperiled by a pair of men in her own apartment. As the climax builds, Susan discovers that her blindness might be the key to her escape, but she and her tormentors must wait until dark to play out the chilling conclusion of this classic thriller. This new adaptation modernizes the brilliant tension of Knott’s original play and builds on the 1967 film starring Audrey Hepburn.

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.

The Red Barn will close the season with our biggest dance show to date. If you thought the numbers in Curtains, Young Frankenstein, or Xanadu were impressive, wait until you see what SOMETHING ROTTEN! has in store. A Renaissance romp about Nicholas Bottom and his new not-so-hit concept of a "musical," this 2015 Broadway musical is sure to please our audiences. Funny with a ton of heart, SOMETHING ROTTEN! packs a punch with a message that will make you laugh and cry. This is a bucket list show for several of our returning company members, and we're chomping at the bit to get started! We appreciate Encompass Credit Union as the sponsor for the final show of the season.

Book by Karey Kirkpatrick & John O’Farrell, Music & Lyrics by Karey & Wayne Kirkpatrick

Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
