Barn III Dinner Theatre and Event Center

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.

Event Details

The first show of the 2025-26 Winter Season, Frankenstein will be presented at the Corn Stock Theatre Center (located in upper Bradley Park) beginning at 2:30 pm.  Tickets go on sale on October 3 and will be $17 for adults and $13 for students with college ID and under are available at the Corn Stock box office, by calling 309-676-2196 or online at www.CornStockTheatre.com

Based on Mary Shelley’s iconic novel, Nick Dear’s Frankenstein is a thrilling and visceral adaptation that brings new life to this classic story. Told from the Creature’s perspective, the play explores the nature of humanity, isolation, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. As Victor Frankenstein’s creation grapples with rejection and seeks meaning in a world that fears him, this electrifying production challenges us to consider what truly makes us human. Bold, haunting, and deeply moving, Frankenstein will captivate audiences with its striking theatricality and timeless questions.   Content Warning: This play contains violence, simulated death, sexual assault, and mature themes that may be distressing for some audience members. Viewer discretion is advised.

Heartland Festival Orchestra - Beethoven: From Fire to Joysun26oct4:00 pm

Heartland Festival Orchestra will present Beethoven: From Fire

Event Details

Heartland Festival Orchestra will present Beethoven: From Fire to Joy – Beethoven’s Journey at Five Points Washington (located at 360 N. Wilmor Rd. in Washington) beginning at 4 pm.  Featuring award-winning guest Artist Michael Stephen Brown, piano soloist, this concert is not only a tribute to Beethoven’s genius but a reflection on the enduring human capacity for hope, transformation, and connection. Tickets are $65 for adults and $15 for students and are available at https://heartlandfestivalorchestra.org

From Fire to Joy invites audiences on a transformative journey through Beethoven’s music- from mythic origins to universal brotherhood. The evening begins with the spirited Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus, celebrating the symbolic gift of fire, creativity, knowledge, and defiance. The Piano Concerto No. 4 follows with its quiet, introspective voice: a musical meditation on struggle and resilience, where dialogue replaces conflict. The program culminates in Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 9, where the composer, deaf and isolated, reaches outward to proclaim a vision of unity and joy.
