Barrow-Civic Theatre

Much fine talent has been uncovered in the area and afforded opportunities to utilize their talents, as well as learning many other aspects of theatre production under professional guidance and instruction. Many of the players double in the construction and painting of sets, handling of lighting and sound, designing and making costumes, and more. An average production involves about 50-70 people, including technical, stage and orchestra personnel.

It’s been a long trip from the slab of concrete stage on Route 8 to the Barrow-Civic Theatre, a state of the art entertainment complex. F.C.O.A.’s mission remains strong and clear: to provide leadership and education in cultural development and performing arts to the region, striving to create a legacy of quality entertainment by tapping the resources of all age groups, and encouraging the pursuit of artistic talents.

F.C.O.A.’s ideas and goals continue to grow. Today, the Barrow-Civic Theatre hosts a wide variety of events year-round, including plays, musicals, concerts, fundraisers, community events, educational workshops, a very popular youth theatre program, and more. See what’s happening now.
