EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Nostalgic Glimpse into the Past: The Barter Theatre of Virginia, Abingdon, USA (circa 1949) 2. Description: Step back in time with this photograph of The Barter Theatre of Virginia, located in the picturesque town of Abingdon, USA. Established in 1933, this unique theatre has a rich history that spans over eight decades. The image, believed to have been taken around 1949, showcases the theatre's charming exterior as it once looked during the post-World War II era. 3. Setting the Scene: The Barter Theatre, a beloved cultural institution in Virginia, is nestled amidst the rolling hills and scenic beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. The theatre's quaint, rustic design perfectly complements the rural charm of Abingdon, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike. 4. The Theatre's Humble Beginnings: Founded by Robert Porterfield, the Barter Theatre began as a simple exchange – patrons could either pay for their tickets with cash or offer goods and services instead. This innovative approach to theatre-going quickly gained popularity, and the theatre soon became a thriving hub for artistic expression and community engagement. 5. A Broadway Connection: The Barter Theatre's success story continued to unfold as it gained recognition beyond its local borders. In the late 1940s, the theatre produced a smash hit show, "John Loves Mary," which went on to enjoy a successful run on Broadway. This achievement solidified the theatre's reputation as a launchpad for promising theatrical talent. 6. A Timeless Icon: Today, The Barter Theatre of Virginia remains a cherished piece of American history. Its enduring legacy continues to inspire and entertain generations, making it an essential part of the cultural fabric of Abingdon and the United States as a whole. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the theatre's humble beginnings and its remarkable journey through the decades.
