The Barn Theatre: Tomorrow's Stars Today

Live Theater and Broadway's Next Stars

Beyond nostalgia for times past, the documentary about "The Barn Theater" shows us the history of a family and friends making something creative with the after world-war 2 G. I. education bill and a window into the life-style of actors and the talents and crafts that support them.

The first part of the documentary has typical reminiscences of the living, elderly history with a lot of photo and audio examples that you might find in a PBS fundraiser special documentary (without the numerous pledge breaks), and the second part gives examples from both people who became well known television stars that most people have heard of or admire, and specific shows from the 1970s through 2011.

We enter the excitement of young, emerging actors and their support - and sometimes tough mentoring from directors, get insights from the musicians, set and costume designers.

There's education to be had while learning more about some of our favorite stars and those who may become the next generation of stars.

I can also see documentary this becoming a must in actor education and training.
