Barn Dinner Theater
Since 1964, The Barn Dinner Theatre has been dedicated to providing a quality dining experience along with Broadway style performances or as we call it...Dinnertainment! We are proud to be the oldest continually operating dinner theatre in the United States.
Each night our culinary staff prepares our traditional buffet with an assortment of delectable choices. Start off at our fresh salad bar and create a salad the way you like. Next, a wide variety of vegetables, side dishes, fresh baked rolls, biscuits and our chef's specialties await you at the buffet bar. At our carving station we offer a Black Angus roast beef, and honey glazed ham. The final touch, our dessert bar offering seasonal fruits, cobblers and banana pudding. If you have that craving for something extra, try one of our incredible gourmet desserts from the bar menu on each table. Just ask your server about them. A full service cash bar is available to our guests including mixed drinks, non-alcoholic drinks, wine, assorted beers and the best frozen drinks around.
After dining, let the show begin as our "magic" stage descends from the ceiling. This hydraulic stage is a unique part of Barn history and has been in operation since the theatre opened. Seating for patrons is "in the round" meaning the seats surround our stage, offering our audiences an opportunity to feel like a part of the show. The performers are all professional actors and musicians that come from all over the United States, including a host of local North Carolina talent.
From comedies, dramas, to musicals, The Barn Dinner Theatre has something for everyone. Whether coming to celebrate that special occasion or just to enjoy an extraordinary night out, The Barn offers the most unique Dinnertainment package around!Conceived in the early 60's, The Barn Dinner Theatre in Greensboro was the second location of what eventually became 27 in the chain during its heyday.
The shows were cast in New York, then the cast would travel from one Barn Dinner Theatre to the next performing each show, as far as Texas & New Mexico. To accommodate the actors, each theatre had, as we still do here, living quarters upstairs. These included kitchens, showers, and bedrooms.
Occasionally cast members still reside on the property during the run of a show. The casts in the early days actually waited on the tables, then rushed to get ready for the show. Our staff & casts today are grateful this is not still the case!
As the decades went by, many of the locations were closed or sold off. Today this location in Greensboro and Chaffin's BDT in Nashville are the only remaining properties from the original chain.
