Name – The Barter Theatre

City/State – Abingdon, VA

County – WASHINGTON

Region – Blue Ridge Highlands – Southwest Virginia

Description – Barter Theatre was founded during the Depression by Robert Porterfield, an enterprising young actor. He and his fellow actors were out-of-work and hungry in New York City. Porterfield contrasted that with the abundance of food–but no live theatre–in his native Southwest Virginia. So Porterfield returned to Washington County, Virginia, with an extraordinary proposition: bartering produce from the farms and gardens of the region to gain admission to see a play. http://www.bartertheatre.com/
