We specialize in theatrically entertaining, historically authentic events and enjoy collaborating with a creative community of more than 1,000 enthusiastic performers, directors, musicians and designers.

Our entertainment services will coordinate musicians, actors, celebrity look-alikes, character actors, dancers, and historical characters, real ~ and imagined!

For specific needs, we offer direct connection to any of our associate companies. To costume a wedding party or an entire stage production, contact Depford Costume design directly.

For a combination of functions or overall event planning and management, please contact Red Barn and we will present a single proposal to fit your needs. Venue recommendations and catering services are also available.

Each of the Red Barn associate companies shares our vision for how every aspect of a quality event should be produced… with creative flair, delightful engagement, and relaxed efficiency.
