My wife and a close family friend attended the production of Eureka Day on Sunday, July 12th. It was a beautiful day, the village was charming as always, the staff was pleaseant, as always, the Artistic Director, Jordan Ahnquist was energetic, and was as we expected after having attended a great many productions over the past 30+ years that we have attended. We have always been impressed with every aspect of these many productions. But Eureka Day was a HUGE disappointment! The sets and the actors were wonderful. The basic premise of the play was enticing and could have been really great. The story quickly devolved into a terrible discussion with the town's people about often deadly illnesses, vacines, anti-vaxxers, foul name calling, trash talking, etc. We were quite disgusted with it after about 15 minutes and finally walked out at intermission. What a disappointment!We will certainly continue to subscribe to future productions at Barnstormers Theater. It's a real gem. But NOT Eureka Day.Douglas Smith

I love this theatre. As we did last summer, we are going to all the regional (professional) theatres we can find in the New England Area. This year we found the Barnstormer in Tamworth NH and it is fantastic. It is an old theatre situated in Tamworth Village. This place is straight out of a Hallmark Movie!! Adorable library, quaint theatre, bakery and a huge white church which displays the 10 Commandments on huge granite tablets outside. There is also a country doctor museum and a distiller of whiskey. The theatre is so quaint and the staff are as I have come to expect friendly and helpful ( a rarity coming from MA). We saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It was fantastic and many of the actors were members of the union which always let me know I am not watching non professional actors. This theatre is the best of the best small antique theatres, even the green screen doors scream days gone by. We are going back again and again!

Not so hidden gem! First time visit. Attended final staging of Something Rotten. Fantastic performances by cast, crew and musicians. Super friendly, courteous staff.

Great location, amazingly good shows by a professional summer troupe....only open for the summer season but it's generally packed for the 3-5 plays that they put on every year. Well worth a visit. They have a dinner theatre option which is very good and very, very limited.

Found this theatre quite by accident and was delighted to do so. The Neil Simon play Laughter on the 23rd Floor happened to be playing that evening so we booked our reservations and enjoyed a lovely evening out. It is like a diamond in the rough, as is this little section of Tamworth. Just delightful and something I would enjoy doing again.
