The Shepherdstown Opera House, a historic venue in the heart of Shepherdstown, recently joined the West Virginia Historic Theatre Trail, spotlighting its importance in preserving local culture and arts. Opened in 1910, the opera house faced challenges, including a catastrophic flood in 2018, but has been revitalized under the stewardship of Harriet and Steve Pearson. With support from the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia, this recognition not only celebrates its legacy but also aims to enhance community engagement and opportunities for artists. The addition of three other theaters, including the Granada Theater and Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center, underscores the collaborative efforts to enrich the state's cultural landscape. The Shepherdstown Chronicle reports on this significant milestone for the local arts scene.
