The barn theatre in Margionys was established in 1920, with its first performance — the comedy “America in the Bathhouse” (Amerika pirtyje) by A. Vilkutaitis-Keturakis — directed by teacher Teofilis Sukackas.

During the years of independent Lithuania, the barn theatre experienced a revival. Local women still sing songs composed by J. Gaidys, passed down from their parents and grandparents, preserving the region’s musical and theatrical traditions.

Unfortunately, in 2022, the theatre building burned down. The local community successfully rebuilt and re-opened the theatre in 2022.
