Bluebarn Theatre
The Bluebarn Theatre, located at 1106 S. 10th Street in Omaha, Nebraska, United States, is a nationally recognized theater.
Begun in 1989, the theater was founded by a group of 1988 graduates from the theater program at Purchase College: Kevin Lawler, Hughston Walkinshaw, Nils Haaland and Mary Theresa Green.
The theater was started at the invitation of the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, with whom the theater initially shared a space. In 2015 the theatre built its own 96-seat theatre with an indoor/outdoor performance space.
The Bluebarn produces the works of contemporary American playwrights as well as original works. Omaha-born filmmaker Alexander Payne, who has been a longtime supporter of the theater, volunteered to be interviewed on the stage in 2002 for a fundraising event for the Bluebarn by Hughston Walkinshaw and current Artistic Director Susan Clement-Toberer.
