The BOH completed its second renovation during the pandemic from 2021-22. We upgrade our air filtration system, installed new seating, new rigging, and a stunning painted curtain which is a replica of the original installed in 1899. It is a beautiful 650 seat theater that is the heart of Barre City, VT. The theater runs two performance series annually, The Celebration Series and BOH Presents. Performances range for R&B, folk, Irish music, VT Symphony Orchestra, and dance. Our stage has been graced by Jackson Brown, Mavis Staples, Richie Havens, Bella Fleck, The Carolina Chocolate Drops, Pat Matheny, John Haitt and so many more!
We have a mission to serve our community. In the summer we run theater camps for children, and host dance and music recitals for local teachers. We are a rental facility taken of advantage of by corporations for meetings, state conferences, and producers such as the Vermont Burlesque Show.
