Rabbit Run Theater opened in 1946 in a horse barn owned and converted by the Klump family. In its early years it operated as a professional summer stock theater, and well-known actors including Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn, Jim Backus, Dustin Hoffman, Charles Grodin, and Sandy Dennis performed there. The theater closed in 1967 and remained dark until 1979, when a group of local theater lovers reopened the barn as a community theater. Rabbit Run Theater is one of only a few converted barn theaters still in operation today.
