Inspiring Theater Tales, Part 2


We promised all our beloved family members back in Maine we wouldn't stop at every Opera House along our route, but this one, in Van Buren, Arkansas, at the Oklahoma state line, we could not resist. Above, Stonington Opera House meets King Opera House; at right, the interior of the lobby.
Built and converted into an Opera House in the late 19th century, around the same time as ours and for the same purposes: vaudeville and film. Van Buren has a historic, active Main Street! Yeah!
