Barn Theater, Richmond Hill Park - Geneseo, Illinois

The Barn Theater is located atop the bluff in Geneseo. Created in 1968 to be the home of the theater this is a wonderful adventure for all to enjoy.

The group converted the top floor of an old dairy barn to fit their needs and has never looked back. The recently renovated Barn now seats 165 per performance in a rare and unique in-the-round environment beneath the original, rustic timbers.

Currently, the Players stage all six productions at the Barn in a season running from February through October. RHP prides itself in presenting a wide variety of comedies, dramas, and thrillers that local audiences might not otherwise have the opportunity to see.
