I came for John Fugelsang's "Guilt - A Love Story" on May 11th and really enjoyed the show in this funky, character-filled theater. I loved that they sold tap beer and fresh popcorn that we could take right in for the show!

The Barrymore is an old-fashioned theatre that fits in well in the neighborhood. Nothing fancy and pretty basic, the popcorn is tasty and the staff friendly. It is a treasure on Madison's east side.
