Thanks to everyone who came out for coffee, conversations and to see what happens inside the Barn you've driven past for years but never stepped in the doors.

Loved hearing how many of you were "theatre kids" or appreciated how theater helped build your confidence when you were younger too.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Coffee Chat this morning!☕️✨

Special thanks to Sun Prairie Civic Theatre for hosting us!🎭
