Join us at the Meeting House in the Village on April 20 when New London Barn artistic director Keith Coughlin and board president Tom DeMille will be on hand for a sneak peek at the upcoming 84th season at the New London Barn. The fun starts at 7pm.

Curtains Up at the New London Historical Society has become a tradition unto itself. It is the first event of the year for the Barn Playhouse.

“We cannot wait to share the fun and excitement of the 2016 Season with our many friends," said DeMille.
