Auditions for Bard in the Barracks: Romeo & Juliet, and Hamlet
Bard in the Barracks’ 2015 season will feature two productions: a remount of the company’s 2014 production of Hamlet in Odell Park AND a new production of Romeo and Juliet staged in Barracks Square! Auditions for both plays will be held on April 28 and 29, with all roles in Romeo and Juliet and a small…
Announcing Bard in the Barracks’ 2015 Season Two Shows! Two Locations!Celebrating 10 years and putting the Bard back in the Barracks! Romeo and Juliet in Barracks Square and Hamlet in Odell Park That’s right! The tenth annual season of Bard in the Barracks will be our biggest and most ambitious yet. For the first time…
We regret to say…
We were holding on to the faint hope that Arthur might not have delivered a knockout blow to Hamlet. We were ready to perform again today and tomorrow, but having now received word that Odell Park is going to remain closed indefinitely, and with many of our cast and crew having other commitments beyond Thursday,…

We’re not sure how long the closure will last, but it looks highly unlikely that we will be able to perform Hamlet in Odell Park tonight. Tonight’s was to have been…
Cancelled on account of massive hurricane!
It’s not every day you get to say that! Alas and alack! The sheer awesome power of arthur, makes it far too dangerous to run the show tonight. I mean, sure we have insurance, but we’d rather our bardfans stay on the ground to see next year’s offering.

We’re going to keep trying to ward off this rain with our own brand of fire-dancing, but we aren’t magicians… though sometimes we play them onstage. Thus far…
Once more unto the breach!
After a hard earned, and well deserved day off, we’re back at it! Audience support has been tremendous! Visitors from all over the province are travelling to our little circle of wagons, and they’re raving about it on twitter and facebook. Many people are seeing this twice (or have already), and if you don’t know…
