Title
The Barnstormer's Theater, Ridley Park, PA
Description
The Barnstormers Theater currently produces six plays a year. The season runs from September to June. Directors, cast, crew, and volunteers are from the tri-state area.
Barnstormers originated as a loosely formed group of townsfolk that produced skits, musical, and minstrel shows for their own amusement. Activities were originally held in a second-floor room in Ward's Hall on Hinckley Avenue. This was the only place in the borough where dancing and public functions could be held. Mr. Harry Fox, who worked with the Plays and Players Club of Philadelphia, came up with the idea to form a permanent organization.
Legend has it that in late 1908, on the 8:21 train from Ridley park to Philadelphia, Mr. Fox brought the idea to Mr. John J. Collier. A meeting was called soon after at Mr. Fox's home to see if there was interest in the town to form a theatrical group. Approximately twenty-five people attended the meeting. Mr. Fox, who lived in Ridley Township, had extensive theater experience.
