The Barnstormers, located in the scenic village of Tamworth, NH, is one of the longest-running professional summer theatres in the country.
The company was founded in 1931 by Francis Cleveland, the youngest son of President Grover Cleveland, Francis’s wife Alice and their friend Ed Goodnow – all of whom were involved with theatre on Broadway. Over eighty years later, their legacy continues.
Today, The Barnstormers is one of three Equity theatres in New Hampshire and provides the region with brilliant summer theatre.
Like most theatres nationwide, ticket sales cover only about half of income needs, so every gift to The Barnstormers is greatly appreciated.
MISSION STATEMENT
To keep vital the value, spirit, and tradition of fine summer theatre in Tamworth and to provide a venue for and to promote varied cultural activities within the region.
Welcome to The Barnstormers Theatre’s 2025 Season!
As we mark our milestone 95th year in Tamworth Village, The Barnstormers Theatre is bringing you a season of celebration. We’ve crafted a season that celebrates community, creativity, new beginnings…and proper spelling! Of course we’ve also included a mystery or two in there.
We invite you to be a part of The Barnstormers community and join the celebration.
See you at the theatre!
