Spring in Stonington

It feels as if spring has finally arrived in Stonington, and OHA couldn't be more excited! The summer 2009 schedule is finalized, and it is filled with many excited events. A highlight is the annual Shakespeare in Stonington production, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” directed by Julia Whitworth.


One thing that makes this year so exiting is this is the 10th Anniversary of Opera House Arts. The 1912 Stonington Opera House, on the National Register of Historic Places, was renovated and repaired by Opera House Arts, which was incorporate as a 201 C 3 nonprofit organization in 1999. Opera House Arts helped restore and reopen the historic theatre. Many wonderful performances and community events have taken places at the opera house over the past ten years, and on August 15th and 16th, OHA will hold a 10th Anniversary Revue-Looking Forward, Looking Back. The event will includes some of the most popular OHA performances: Broadway singers, TV Stars, Randy Judkins, and Mike Miclon in John Cariani's "Falling in Love," the Moose Boy; the Lobster Girl; opera; The Vigina Monologues; pianist Paul Sullivan; and much more...
