Appeal
When those intrepid volunteers in 1971 got together and decided to save the Earlville Opera House from the wrecking ball, it must have been hard to imagine how it could ever become the beautiful facility we have today. The building had stood empty and abandoned for 20 years. The roof leaked. The heat did not work. Paint was peeling and brickwork was cracked. Pigeons flew in and out through the broken windows.
We near the end of our 51st year with the triumphal post-Covid return of our loyal audiences for our fantastic performer shows and rotating art gallery exhibits. This year we hosted many local and regional performers, multiple theatrical productions by our award-winning resident company the Sherburne Music-Theater Society, and shows by nationally touring pros The Gibson Brothers, Carolyn Wonderland, Gary Talley, The Wailers, Marcia Ball, and Yasmin Williams. Ending the year on our 1892 Main Stage are the amazing Squirrel Nut Zippers bringing their Holiday Caravan to Central NY! If you’ve never heard this rollicking roots band with their style harking back 100 years, you’re in for a special treat! Donate
