In search of an accessible Black Box Theatre In 2020 Barnstorm moved from its home, with an 80-seater black box theatre venue, in Church Lane after 25 years. In 2021 the performing arts community in Kilkenny began the search for an accessible black-box theatre space which will serve all stakeholders in Kilkenny as well smaller visiting shows. A black box theatre is a simple performance space, typically a square room with black walls and a flat floor.
The simplicity of the space allows it to be used to create a variety of configurations of stage and audience interaction.
