"The AC in the room won’t cool below 70, room is a little warm and stuffy for me. Waited several minutes at the bar that was unattended for services. Asked an employee if a bartender was around -‘other patrons had cocktails. She was not sure. Bartender showed up. She was great."

The windows are dirty. Very spotted from not being washed in a long time. Inside and out. Shelves were dusty to the ..."

Virginia Creeper Trail Abingdon
Barter Theatre, located in Abingdon, Virginia, opened on June 10, 1933, when the country was in the middle of the Great Depression. Most patrons were not able to pay the full ticket price. Robert Porterfield, founder of the theatre, offered admittance by letting the local people pay with food goods, hence the name "Barter". The original ticket price for a play was 40 cents, or the equivalent in goods. In 1946, Barter Theatre was designated the State Theatre of Virginia. Today, Barter is one of the last year-round professional resident repertory theatres remaining in the United States. -Wikipedia
