Welcome to Barnyard Theatre!

In the heart of Yolo County there is a barn with a dirt floor...

Each summer, Barnyard Theatre transforms the historic Schmeiser barn into an innovative performance space and invites the Yolo County community out into the country for a one-of-a-kind theatre experience, which begins with a summer sunset and ends under the stars.

Our site has been completely redesigned, so take a look around.

Current Season

Announcing our 2012 season!

The Mainstage: Psyche, by Meghan Brown
Meghan Brown's Psyche is “a classic tale of love, betrayal, and blindingly good sex.”  In this darkly humorous retelling of the Greek myth, a young poet wastes away in the attic coaxing poetry from his muse, the immortal Psyche.  His mother, an aging movie star, is set to begin a new life with her new lover, his former best friend.  What do we really want from the people we love?  People who see us for what we are? Or people who are willing to remain blindfolded?

Opens Friday July 20!
through mid-August, exact dates TBA.
Opening night tickets available for purchase through Kickstarter.

The Workshop: Dammed, by Briandaniel Oglesby
This play follows a family’s struggle to come together during last days of Monticello, the small town that was bulldozed to make way for Lake Berryessa. This workshop will be a creative and generative process between the playwright, director, and cast. The focus of the rehearsal process will be to develop this play for production next summer. The process will include active workshops, improvization, and a series of stagings with audience participation. July – August, exact dates TBA.

Come be a part of the process! Join us out at the barn to explore and enjoy new scripts under development through this series of readings, stagings and audience discussions. July – August, exact dates TBA.
