The Show Must Go On!
A lovingly restored theater that reflects its glory days from 1879 through 1924 when it was home to touring vaudeville, melodrama and minstrel shows, Stuart's Opera House is the cornerstone of the Nelsonville Historic Arts District.
In 1924 Stuart's closed and sat empty until 1977, when a non-profit community group set out to bring the theater back to life; however, a devastating fire nearly destroyed the building in 1980. Seventeen years later in 1997, the opera house re-opened its doors and is now one of Southeast Ohio's most respected and revered places to experience live music.
