A twisted comedic take on two classic but vastly different tales. Silent Night of the Lambs mixes one part Oscar-winning thriller (The Silence of the Lambs) with one part beloved holiday TV special (Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer) to serve up an unforgettably wild recipe for mayhem and mistletoe. Will those damn lambs ever stop laughing?!

BLUEBARN Theatre acknowledges the historic exclusion and lack of opportunity for artists who identify as Global Majority (Black, Indigenous, and people of color), LGBTQIA2S+, neuro-diverse, and artists with disabilities. We are actively working against the field-wide implicit bias and systemic inequities that result in default white, cis, heteronormative casting. BLUEBARN is likewise committed to countering all modes of discrimination in casting.
BLUEBARN Theatre is committed to fostering a culture of civility, dignity and respect as a right and responsibility of all who walk through its doors. Employees, guest artists, volunteers, and patrons are entitled to and responsible for maintaining an environment of mutual trust – free from intimidation, exploitation, harassment and discrimination. Offensive, abusive, or unwelcome verbal or physical conduct will not be tolerated. Adhering to this standard is vital to the BLUEBARN’s mission: “to provoke thought, emotion, action, and change.”
