About This Cause

The Newberry Opera House: Preserving History, Inspiring the Future Originally constructed in 1882 and beautifully restored and reopened in 1998, the Newberry Opera House is more than just a historic landmark — it is a living, breathing center for cultural enrichment, artistic excellence, and community connection. Today, it stands proudly as one of North America's premier historic theaters and performing arts venues. With a mission to entertain, educate, and elevate, the Newberry Opera House serves as a dynamic hub where the arts come alive. Its stage has welcomed a diverse array of talent — from cherished local performers to nationally renowned touring artists — fostering a vibrant exchange of culture and creativity. Recognized with the prestigious 2008–2009 Outstanding Historic Theatre Award by the League of Historic American Theatres, the Opera House has continually raised the bar for excellence in historic preservation, artistic programming, and community engagement. But its true impact goes beyond the spotlight. The Newberry Opera House is committed to making the arts accessible, supporting arts education, and driving economic and cultural vitality in Newberry and the surrounding region. By blending history with innovation, it nurtures a space where generations can gather, learn, and be inspired. The future is bright — and boldly mission-driven — as the Newberry Opera House continues to bring culture, music, and the performing arts to the forefront of public life, building a stronger, more connected community through the transformative power of the arts.
