ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
The New London Barn Playhouse is an award-winning professional theater now in its 93nd season. As one of the oldest continuously operating theaters in the country, the Barn is a cultural jewel of northern New England. Housed since 1933 in a centuries-old converted barn with historic landmark status, the theater offers a mix of classic and contemporary musicals and plays performed by seasoned professionals alongside emerging young artists. The Barn operates on an AEA Council of Stock Theatres contract, with an annual operating budget of approximately $1.5 million dollars. The organization produces a six-show Mainstage season between Memorial Day and right after Labor Day each summer, with additional productions including, the New Hampshire Symphony, one night-only cabarets, and a Children's Theater Series throughout the season.

The New London Barn Playhouse has recently engaged in the largest capital campaign in its history. As part of this campaign, a new year-round educational center was constructed. The Fleming Center for Artistic Development opened in May 2022 and has allowed for the Barn Playhouse's expansion to 12-month programming to serve as an artistic and educational hub for its community. Additionally, the Fleming Center also houses a brand-new Scenic and Costume Shop, as well as a new workspace for the Props department.
