Artist rendering

                                             Artist drawing of the original barn.

THE OKEMOS BARN THEATRE

                                                       The Barn in its heyday

I've been spending the past several weeks putting together this year's BARNEY AWARDS and in the process of gathering old photos I discovered there were few available online.  That sent me back to the 7 volumes of Barn history so meticulously compiled and curated by J. Wesley Olds.  

So in this space I hope to share some of those great memories of people and shows.
