Built in 1884, the Thomaston Opera House serves as a cultural and educational center for the Town of Thomaston and its surrounding communities. Many of its recent accolades are for the community and regional-based theatre presented throughout the year. This not for profit organization run by only four people is now down to a staff of 2.

On Sept 10, 2009 the Selectman of the Town of Thomaston made the decision to cut both the Executive Director and the Funds Development Director of the Thomaston Opera House, cutting staffing in half. This begs the following question: What will happen to the Thomaston Opera House? It is certain that without an executive director, or a fundraising department,the Thomaston Opera House will struggle to keep itself in good working order. We are still open and running as best we can with a paid staff of only 2 people.

We would like to extend a very special "Thank You" to all our volunteers and supporters for their dedication and help. You have no idea how much it is appreciated.
