Starting in 1961, Howard Douglass Wolfe created The Barn Dinner Theatre franchise, which included 27 theaters. These theaters were strategically located in New York, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Louisiana. All locations of the franchise featured Wolfe’s barn design and farm-themed decorations, and even his “magic stage”. The magic stage was Wolfe’s patented elevator in which at the end of an act or scene, the stage would disappear into the ceiling, then reappear, all ready for the next scene. Wolfe’s memorial cites him as the “Father of Dinner Theater”. Several famous actors reportedly acted at The Barn, including Robert DeNiro and Mickey Rooney. alcapones/wordpress/?p=2311
