BarnDoor Productions

Perth's original community theatre

bringing the best in community-oriented performance to the region since 1983

BarnDoor Productions has been presenting live theatre in Perth, Ontario since 1995 and before that, as Perth Summer Theatre, since 1983.

From outdoor classics to modern hits, from favourite "chestnuts" to original shows, BDP has set the region's standard since our first production and built a reputation for high-energy, fast-paced, constantly surprising and always exciting theatre.

Now in our 17th season, we are celebrating the opening of the Full Circle Theatre, Perth's only fully barrier-free performance space -- a 28 year dream come true.

Producing Directors: David and Janice Jacklin

Our 2011-2012 season concluded with

Edward Albee's
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

We told you it would be legendary.

It was. It is!

Kristy Angel as Honey; Chris Angel as Nick; Catherine Clark as Martha. The crooked picture on the back wall tells you the energy that the production had!

It was a show that left some people in tears, some in awe and some simply flabbergasted. Four great performances; great direction; a great script.

A production that will long be remembered!

SOME PAST EVENTS TO SAVOUR

IT'S FUN TO BE
BALD LIKE DAD

Thanks to Krista Graham, children's entertainment is returning to Perth, after a 15 year absence!

BALD LIKE DAD had kids (and parents) dancing, jumping, singing and clapping on April 21 with a great hour-long set of fun, silly and very musical entertainment!

Krista wants to get this going as a series, so look for more events in this vein. This is something that Perth needs!

An SRO house stomped and cheered as the incredible talents of J.P. Cormier on March 14 as the guitar legend dazzled them with furious picking and mighty licks. Mike and Bill Elliot took their turns in the spotlight, too, on bass and guitar, while J.P. laid down, not only guitar, but fiddle, mandolin and banjo. What a night and, we hope, the first of many more Charles Macphail produced concerts to come.

J.P Cormier
and
The Elliot Brothers

Chris Angel laid down two SOLID sets
at FCT on March 2.
The video highlights above do nothing to show the great sound of Chris's voice and guitar AND the 5.1 surround sound system at FCT. You have to hear them live to believe them! So contact Chris at www.chrisangelmusic.com and let him know you want him back at FCT.

The Funk Police at
The Full Circle Theatre!

They tore up the stage with some hot music. The cool news for our neighbours is that all of that sound-proofing worked: not a sound to be heard outside the building! Click the link above.

SUMMER IN THE CIRCLE
Your ticket to some great summer fun.

The last and possibly greatest comedy from the French master, The Imaginary Invalid is outrageous, zany and wildly funny. This is NOT tame stuff!

A hypochondriac`s perpetual ailments and his doctors`inept cures are the excuse for some wild comedy.

July 6 to 15

A change in plans for the summer!

Perennial favourite Norm Foster`s naughty and brilliantly funny story of a man who can make his ideal woman come to life, by filling out a `love list` -- and how you should be careful what you wish for!
