About Ye Olde Opera House
The mission of Ye Olde Opera House is to generate, promote, and support interest in the arts and provide arts experiences in Spring Grove, MN and the surrounding areas.
Ye Olde Opera House was founded in 1978 when a group of dedicated citizens decided that they should put on a show. With virtually no money, a lot of determination, and an old barn they produced their first summer musical. Since then, lovers of the theater have been getting together every summer and against all odds put on one great show after another. In addition to the well-known summer musical, Ye Olde Opera House also produces several shows every year in their main street location, bringing the joy of live theater to audiences young and old from near and far.
Testimonials
My wife and our friend and I went to see "A PERFECT ARRANGEMENT" last night and I wasn't sure what to expect given this is a play about a variety of social and relational issues but focuses on the complexity of gay relationships in the McCarthy era in Washington being presented in a small town theater in the present.
The play was sparkling with truth, humor, sarcasm and real emotion. I was focused on the stage all evening and felt as though I had experienced something both enlightening and entertaining.
Now, in the interest of full transparency, I have to admit the director was my daughter but whether you see this play or a future one, don't be afraid to set your expectations high!
