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.

The Lafayette Dulcimer Gathering will play at Cumberland Park every Tuesday evening from 7pm to 8:30pm in June, July and August
All acoustic instrument musicians are welcome to join the jam and play along or, just bring a lawn chair and enjoy the music! Song sheets will be available.

Nine Irish Brothers Traditional Irish Pub hosts a community trad session Wednesday evenings at seven pm. Trad sessions--short for traditional Irish sessions, are a community-led participatory event in which local musicians bring their instruments and play traditional Irish music. Musicians who play Irish instruments or who are striving to learn are welcome to join in, and all members of the community are welcome to enjoy the music and ambiance.

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.
