TUITION ASSISTANCE
We at the Barn believe an education in the performing arts should be available and accessible to everyone.

So it is with great pride that we offer Tuition Assistance at any level needed.
We know how meaningful theater can be, and we understand the impact of that shared experience. Especially in these difficult times, coming together to sing, act, design, and laugh can be transformative.
