A few words from John Bennett COH Board President Dear Opera House Patrons, The Board of Directors, Staff, Volunteers and I welcome you to the Claremont Opera House. As Claremont becomes 250, we join in the celebration. Already this season, we have mounted an exhibit of posters and programs from years past and joined the Claremont Historical Society and OBSP with a tribute exhibit and play with historic accounts from Claremont veterans and wives. An Atrium exhibit of photographs, from the collection of the Hale family, highlight people and places in Claremont. Stage productions with OBSP and the Fiske Free Library and a concert sponsored by the 250th Committee, along with other programs for your pleasure, help you pass the autumn and the winter nights. Variety shows, community and student programs and school performances fill out our playbill. Claremontoperahouse.org season calendar is the source for the announcements of shows and events. This year’s continued focus is on forming a stronger collaboration with the local theater community. In support of the Claremont thespians, are programs from OBSP, Stevens High School, New England Classical Academy and Claremont Middle School, as well as others to be announced. (Continued page 2) Continued from page 1, Bennett Please review our four school shows that enhance science, literature and the state curriculum. The Claremont Opera House Inc. is pleased with its association with the newly established youth based Theatre Company. With a strong mission to produce quality theatre within the community with an emphasis on educational and apprenticeship opportunities while focusing on young adult involvement makes the Repertory Theatre Company, “The REP”, a great asset to The Claremont Opera House and the community. As you wait for the performance to begin, know that you are seated in a national historic theater and national landmark. The exterior and interior of this building and theater have undergone years of restoration. From its opening in 1897 to its reopening in 1978, this space remains a fine example of the work of architect Charles A. Rich, home of the first public performance by John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever”, and the jewel of historic Opera House Square. If you are interested in the history of this building and past events, you can find more information on page 5 of the season program book. Please consider supporting our advertisers and sponsors. Without their support, we would not be here. If you wish to help by becoming a member, sponsor, advertiser or underwriter, let us know. We continue to rely on our patrons and donors to keep program costs down to bring you the best ticket value for live entertainment. Most of all, thank you for coming. Look forward to seeing you again. Enjoy the show! Best Wishes, John D. Bennett, COH, Inc.
