Thinking Jimmy and Eileen will be out of town, Billie and her gang hide cases of alcohol in the basement of Jimmy's Long Island mansion.

The Barn Brings Theater to the blind... Under the leadership of Barn Vice President, Steve Sears, and in conjunction with The Senior Barn Players group Actor's Choice, led by Petra Allen, we have begun recording short plays, one acts and monologues for Audio Reader. Audio Reader provides a radio service for the blind within the state of Kansas reading newspapers and magazines. This is the first time that any theatrical readings have been recorded. This is a wonderful opportunity to not only work with The Senior Barn Players but also to fulfil part of our Mission to provide theater to the community by the community. It will also give us an outlet for some of our 6x10 plays to be performed outside of our one weekend festival.
