Dear Friends--

When the citizens of Waterville voted to build a new City Hall in 1896, little did they know the prominence its Opera House would occupy in the community. Dignitaries and famous performers have graced our stage throughout its 108 year history. Concerts and shows were held in the early years of the 20th century, some featuring Marion Anderson, Rudy Vallee and even Tom Mix with his horse! Silent movies arrived in 1913 and the film tradition continues today with The Maine International Film Festival every summer.

It is my great pleasure to invite you to be part of this wonderful discovery of the arts in our region. We hope that the Waterville Opera House's presentations will have an appeal to every member of our community.

We welcome you to our beautiful turn of the century theater, hope you will return often and thank you for your continuing support.

Enjoy the show!

Diane M. Bryan
Executive Director
