Keeping the Tradition of Live Theater Alive

Since opening in 1892, the Twin City Opera House has welcomed generations of performers and audiences through its doors. The Opera House Players continue that tradition by bringing local talent to the stage and providing a place where creativity, storytelling, and community come together.

Community theater is about more than the performances audiences see. Every production represents countless hours of rehearsals, set construction, costume preparation, technical work, and dedication from volunteers.

The Opera House Players help ensure that live theater remains an important part of Morgan County's cultural heritage.
