Stonington Opera House
Stonington Opera House, Historic theatre in Stonington, Maine, United States.
Stonington Opera House is a wooden theatre building constructed in 1912 located at the corner of Main Street. The structure features a distinctive hip roof on its southern section that shelters the stage area and backstage facilities.
The building rose in 1912 after a fire destroyed an earlier structure, marking a fresh start for the community's gathering space. It gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
This theatre serves as a gathering place where residents and visitors come together for performances and screenings. It plays an active role in bringing the community together for shared cultural experiences.
The theatre hosts a rotating schedule of different types of entertainment throughout the year. It is best to check the program in advance to find an event that matches your interests and plan your visit accordingly.
The theatre preserves its original projection booth from the 1910s, lined with asbestos tile as a safety measure. This construction method was a practical response to the fire hazard posed by the nitrate film stock used in those early projectors.
