The Barter Players are a special company of young professional
actors performing classic theatre for kids of all ages. The company
tours from Barter Theatre, one of the longest running professional
theatres in the nation. Robert Porterfield founded Barter Theatre, the
State Theatre of Virginia and the home theatre of The Barter Players,
in 1933. The visionary make an extraordinary offer to Depression-era
actors and audiences: barter produce and livestock to gain admission
to see a play. The concept of exchanging "ham for Hamlet" was an
overnight success. Today, Barter runs in full rotating rep year round
with a company of true resident actors who perform in more than 30
productions annually for an audience of over 150,000 people.
