The Historic Merrick Barn

Merrick Barn, built in 1802, has been the center of playmaking at Johns Hopkins for over a century. The John Astin Theatre, seating 100, with a classic proscenium stage, hosts all JHU Theatre productions. The Barn is also home to the Undergraduate Program in Theatre Arts & Studies.

We would like to acknowledge that Merrick Barn is located on the unceded lands of the Piscataway and Susquehannock peoples, and that before it was a theatre, it was a site of human enslavement.

Parking and Directions

• Visitors can park in the South Garage, located under the Decker Quadrangle on Wyman Park Drive. The garage is fully automated and open 24 hours. The pay station is in the vestibule next to the Parking Office. The weekend flat rate is $8.
