14 Best Things to Do in Key West

"Put down that rum runner and get a dose of culture instead. Originally built as a carriage house in 1829, the Red Barn Theatre has enjoyed two lives as a theater. You'll find everything here, from plays and musicals to live music and family performances. It's small but mighty, and everyone from Tennessee Williams to Jimmy Buffet has been at the Red Barn. It's a local gem and represents community theater at its best—and tends to be on the radar of residents more so than tourists." - Nancy DePalma , Laura Ratliff

Wow! Best little theater ever! Quaint and adorable theater that is rare to see. Pride shows! This theater non-profit is doing an excellent job, bringing great theater to us in the Keys. You can feel the history, if the stage could talk! Top notch acting with passion! Nice atmosphere in and out. Even the bar was great! The volunteers that work there, whether in ticket sales, usher, stage hands, actors, and bar tender are happy, bright lights and treasures to be around. This theater is so heart warming, it is a must see! I can't wait to go again. I should become a member. You will not be disappointed. Go, see a show, enjoy Duval, and make fun memories!

Should be voted one of the country’s best little theaters. We were 3 couples finishing r vaca in KW & on a whim purchased tix to opening night/season play of Scrooge Shakespeare. FANTASTIC play, performance, & evening. After this first night performance, we were treated to a buffet & opportunity to meet the cast & crew as well as other audience mbrs. All so warm & friendly. It truly was one of the highlights of our trip. We will return & spread the find of this little gem to friends who will be visiting KW soon. We wish we were returning sooner to see other performances this season. BRAVO

Scrooge Macbeth hugely delightful. Super creative and unique. Laughed out loud throughout. Cannot have a bad seat at the Red Barn. Highly recommend - go go go.

Fantastic little theatre tucked away behind the hard rock Cafe. Doing amazing productions. I was lucky enough to catch a Tuna Christmas. I laughed almost the entire play. Absolutely spot on performances!!!

I went to see "Under the Hunter's Moon". The stage looked fantastic. Wonderful prop work. Seating was comfortable. The actors were engaging and believable. The story was captivating an original. Bob Bowersox was the writer.

Very small theater in a historic building. Saw "Quarantine for Two", a wickedly funny play about a middle-aged warring couple cooped up together during COVID. We could all relate to lines about disinfecting grocery bags, "mask-debators", toilet paper shortages and the like. Sometimes it's good to laugh at tragedy. Details: Reserve seats on the theater's website and pick up tickets at the box office up to an hour before curtain time. Very tight leg room and narrow seating with protruding cupholders made us happy it was a short play! As of mid-March the Red Barn was still asking for vaccine cards and masks despite the fact that Florida doesn't require them.

It was a very small venue so there was really no bad seats. We saw "Lets get Lost" The actors were wonderful however this is something that would be more appreciated by an older crowd. I am attaching a youtube link so you can see parts of the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEKFIr_-Nuw

Excellent local theater! Bar and patio with cute twinkly lights to hang out before show. Right off of Duval so super convenient but feels very quiet and intimate. Great actors and super friendly ushers.

My first visit and it was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I saw the play DANCE LESSON...a two person play starring the incredibly talented Dave Bootle and a female costar who was equally superb! Laughed hard, and was also emotionally challenged by the underlying content... You will not be disappointed!

I have attended many plays at the Red Barn theater over the past 35 years. I absolutely love the coziness of this historic gem, tucked into a quiet little pocket right off of Duval Street. They offer several plays each season. The acting is usually quite good and the backdrops and props are always very well imagined. My favorite thing about it is how Key Westy it is - small, casual and friendly.

This well done 3 act play depicts a very dark side of getting older and having regrets. The acting was good, but the subject and the substance of the play was very dark and depressing. Wish I would have left at intermission. I kept hoping that the of the last act of the play would redeem the first half. Sadly, it did not.
