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.
