Greetings,

As you know, the Opera House Players worked diligently with area businesses and volunteers to finish the restoration of the historic Elkader Opera House. The Opera House Players have contributed a substantial amount to this renovation project. As a 501(3)c non-profit organization we have funded this project to assure that theater and other events continue to have a local venue. This past year, we finished the dressing rooms that now provide comfortable changing facilities to all performers that use the theater. We also replaced a leaky roof at the back of the building, and replaced a substantial portion of the stage floor, including support beams and sub-floor. The changes are beautiful and functional.

Your continued response to our annual membership drive is extremely gratifying! We will continue to do all we can to keep our ticket prices low. This enables more families and area residents to experience theater close to home. We have ambitious plans for future productions. After the Opera House successfully hosted The Smothers Brothers and The Kingston Trio, the OHP renewed their dedication to continue upgrading the lighting and sound equipment in the theater in order to entice more performers of that caliber to the Elkader Opera House. You can help those plans and others come to fruition by becoming a supporting member of the Opera House Players.

If you care to become a member at this time, click here for a form to join the OHP as a supporting member.   We do hope to mail letters to most of our theater patrons once a year offering this opportunity.  Businesses can also use the specific Patron from by clicking here.

Sincerely,

Jon Banse, President
