Event Details

Elvis Has Left the Building will be presented at the Barn III Dinner Theatre (located at 1451 Timberline Rd. in Goodfield) with doors opening at 11:30 am.  Opening on October 2 and running through November 1 with seating beginning at 5:15 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 11:30 am on Sundays.  Reservations are required and may be done at https://www.thebarniii.com
It’s December 20, 1970. When Elvis disappears without a trace just days before a major televised appearance that could make or break his career, Colonel Tom Parker must scramble to keep the press at bay, his sanity in check, and most importantly - the illusion that everything is fine.  Packed with lightning-fast dialogue, outrageous schemes, and a not-so-subtle nod to the rock ’n’ roll hysteria of the 1970s, this show is a crowd-pleasing comedy that’ll have audiences laughing from Graceland to Goodfield.

The Barn III Dinner Theatre is owned by long-time performer, Mary Simon and long-time fan of the Barn, Abby Reel. After a devastating tornado in 2015 and subsequently devastating insurance battle, the Barn III Dinner Theatre was finally rebuilt and the company began performances in 2019 after performing at Five Points Washington's Performing Arts Center for several years. When the new facility opened, it allowed the Barn to finally serve alcohol after the town of Goodfield approved a liquor license after decades of being a dry facility.  The Barn III also now hosts private events like weddings, other performances such as recitals, and dance performances in addition to their traditional dinner theatre. With the COVID pandemic forcing changes to the way the Barn does business, they've recently switched over to a plated dinner for their dinner theatre shows after years of offering a buffet. In 2022, their season includes: Weekend Comedy February 4 -27 Live From the Barn, It's the 70s March 10 - April 10, May 5-8 Everybody Loves Opal July 7 - August 14 Run For Your Wife September 29 - October 30 Christmas Past, Present, & Future November 17 - December 31 There will be no shows on November 24, 25 , or December 24, 25 On Thursdays - Saturdays,  doors open at 5:30 pm. Dinner from 5:30 - 6:30 pm. The show begins at 7:30 pm. On Sundays, doors open at 11:30 am. Lunch from 11:30-12:30 pm. Show begins at 1:30 pm. Tickets for dinner & the show are $48 You will select options from our menu for salad, entree, dessert and can enjoy unlimited appetizers.
