BENEFITThe restored Newberry Opera House is the catalyst for an artistic and economic rebirth in Newberry, helping to showcase talented area artists and fostering a creative environment which draws regional artists and creative people and visitors from throughout the South, who will come, create, perform, enjoy and display the arts in Newberry.
The success of a facility like the Opera House is proven by its use. There is a constant flow of people and activities in the building. The goal is to keep the Opera House filled and busy. As part of its role as a center of community activity, the Box Office also serves as a central information point for Newberry citizens, not only selling tickets for Opera House events, but also for arts performances throughout the area, sporting events, and civic and special events. A sense of ownership will be developed among students of all ages. Educational opportunities and opportunities to work and to serve in the project as well as the artistic experience of enjoying a performance will be available to senior groups and organizations of every type as well as to individuals. Opera House educational programming will engage people from throughout the Midlands-Piedmont region. Area schools and Newberry College are partners in the venture as is the business community. The City of Newberry is an active partner and area political leaders are enthusiastically supportive. The Newberry Opera House Foundation Board includes business, cultural, and civic leaders. A partnership with the State Museum will frequently bring traveling exhibitions to the new facility. The South Caroling Arts Commission sees a restored facility as a venue for showcasing South Carolina playwrights, composers, and artists. Continue to Economic Impact Back to History Page |
