Abstract: This study investigates the attitudes of the Abingdon, Virginia, community toward Barter Theatre. A telephone survey was designed to answer the following questions: (1) How many Abingdon people attend Barter Theatre? (2) What is the frequency of their attendance? (3) What percentage of those attending are residents of the city of Abingdon? (4) What percentage of those attending are residents of rural Abingdon? (5) How many Abingdonians attended the theatre under the barter system? (6) What are some of the general feelings of the Abingdon community toward the Barter Theatre? In this study 129 randomly chosen Abingdon residents were surveyed by telephone. Results indicate that sixty-three percent (63%) of those surveyed have attended Barter Theatre; thirty-six percent (36%) have never attended Barter Theatre; forty-nine percent (49%) had attended the theatre within the two year period preceding this survey; eight percent (8%) had attended the theatre under the barter system; forty-six percent (46%) of the subjects seldom attend the theatre (do not average attending one play per year); thirty-nine percent (39%) attend one to four times per year; and fifteen percent (15%) attend five or more times per year. More city residents have attended the theatre than rural residents. More rural residents have never attended the theatre than town residents.
