The Barn is a non-profit theatre

The mission of the Maplewood Barn Association is to provide high quality, live community theatre to mid-Missouri audiences in an informal, family friendly, outdoor setting in historic Nifong Park. The purpose and mission have remained unchanged since the theatre’s founding as a City-sponsored initiative in 1973.

Donations keep us creating plays.

Thank you to our generous partners and sponsors throughout the Barn’s history.
