1. Mitchell Opera House.
Mitchell Opera House, also known as Mitchell City Hall, is a historic theater building. It was built in 1905–1906, and is a two-story, brick building measuring 45 feet wide and 85 feet deep. It has a one-story projecting entry, gable roof, and gambrel roof over the stage area at the rear of the building. It housed a theater until 1927, then served as city hall between 1952 and 1979.(Submitted on April 10, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
2. History Of The Theatre.
Completely restored in 2015, the historic Mitchell Opera House enjoys a rich tradition of community events, film screenings and live music entertainment. Recalling the days when the Monon Line connected with the B&O Railroad, the Opera House now serves as a permanent hub for the arts in Southern Indiana. With a stage once graced by Broadway’s biggest stars, leading films and their producers, and even the President of the United States, the Mitchell Opera House invites you back to a simpler time.(Submitted on April 10, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
