Barking Legs Theater, founded in 1993, strives to enhance the community by cultivating and mentoring diverse artists, presenters and audiences in an eclectic, inclusive and creative environment.
Kicking Up Performing Arts Since 1993
Barking Legs is an intimate performing arts venue that strives to maintain a standard as one of Chattanooga’s favorite places for performers and patrons alike. Over the last 30 years, we have hosted a vast variety of avant-garde, experimental, boundary-pushing performances and built a home for the eccentric, independent art-loving community that inspires us to keep the creativity kicking.
Barking Legs is dedicated to elevating the unique work of diverse voices and artistry to strengthen community connections through a wide array of programming. From events that explore social justice issues happening in our own backyard to presenting contemporary and marginalized art forms, we provide a space for deep reflection, candid conversation, and entertainment.
