“A Celebration of the Camden Opera House”

Did you know that Mae West performed at our Opera House? Or that actor Fred Gwynne from the Munsters got his start here? That pianist and Grammy winner John Legend has performed several times as a performer for the Poptech conference? Architect Christopher Glass and Camden Opera House Manager Kerry Hadley will present “A Celebration of the Camden Opera House” in a slideshow format at the Camden Public Library on Tuesday evening, March 24, at 7:00 pm.

This 50-minute talk celebrates the 120th anniversary of the Opera House and will include a slideshow of historic photographs, photos of celebrities who have appeared or got their start there, and historic trivia! Some little before seen architectural renderings will be discussed and displayed, also. The talk will cover 120 years of memories, performances, community, and architecture.

He is the former member-architect and chairman of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission and has worked with the organization Maine Preservation. He also taught architectural design at Bowdoin College. He resides in Camden, Maine and in 1980 helped with the renovations to the Opera House.

She has seen events grow from 12 to 160 per year, and the addition of professional box office services, a film-quality screen and projector, wifi, a technical director, and many more shows produced annually by the town of Camden, as the Opera House evolves into a presenting organization. The Opera House annually hosts the Camden International Film Festival, the Camden Conference, and Poptech – three multi-day events that fill our area with fascinating people and ideas.
