The 2015 performance season at Priscilla Beach Theatre's (PBT) Barn Stage was the first season of outstanding productions since Bob and Sandy Malone, owners and guardians of PBT, purchased this venerable campus, restored its physical properties, and infused a new spirit of excitement for the performing arts in our neighborhood. The Barn Stage, a 240-seat venue is cited as the oldest summer stock barn theatre still operating in America. The original barn was built in 1875 and much of that structure remains in place today. In the above image, The Malone Family officially opens the "new" theatre on July 10, 2015!
Occasionally, I will re-live a blog post about a PBT performance but, scrolling back through months of posts to find it can be tedious so I put them all together in one place. Then I realized that other PBT lovers may also find that useful so - this post contains all of them from 2015 in one convenient location.
The following links are to my blog posts of the principal shows over the 2015 performance season - I hope you enjoy reliving them! The 2017 season is at this link. The 2016 season is at this link.

I left them undisguised so you can see they go to legitimate links and not some hacking or phishing sites. (The Google conglomerate owns the Blogger platform having acquired it in 2003).
