Join us for our second season of MAC on the Road!
This summer, we are hitting the road to visit historic opera houses in Ohio. Built in the 19th and early 20th century, opera houses were found in many rural communities around America. Many are located on the second story of buildings, such as town municipal buildings. They often served as the center for the community, hosting traveling vaudeville shows & lectures, movies, and community events like graduation ceremonies & talent shows, and many other varied events.
We will be visiting 4 restored historic opera houses in Ohio during the month of July: The Southern Theatre in Columbus, Stuart’s Opera House in Nelsonville, The Strand Theatre in Delaware, and The Holland Theatre in Bellefontaine.
We are also excited to welcome back Michael Hurwitz, Technical Theatre Restoration Consultant. Michael spoke to the Lifelong Learning Institute at the MAC about Ohio’s historic opera houses and his role in their restoration, inspiring us to ask him if he would lead us on tours of 4 of these historic gems.
Register for one of these tours for $20, or save on all four with a $75 season subscription
