Historic Barter Theatre announces two of the most riveting stories in American culture, coming to its stage this fall: one is a gloriously funny Southern story that proves some friendships are as surprising as they are life-changing; the other a thrilling mystery starring the world's most famous detective. Barter Theatre's fall schedule now includes the much beloved "Driving Miss Daisy" at Barter Stage II and "Sherlock Holmes & the Hound of the Baskervilles' on Barter's Main Stage.

Get ready to laugh until your sides split during Barter Theatre's world premiere comedy, 'Hollywood Confidential.' Penned by the playwriting team of the late V. Cate and her son Duke Ernsberger who also wrote 'Dracula Bites,' 'Elvis Has Left the Building' and 'A Visit from Scarface,' it's the kind of play that will have you rolling in the aisles. 'Hollywood Confidential' begins tonight, June 5 at Barter Stage II.

"We believe that the stories we tell can change the world." It all begins January 31st.
