Ye Olde Opera House Community Theater

Ye Olde Opera House was founded in 1978 when a group of dedicated citizens produced their first summer musical with virtually no money, a lot of determination, and an old barn. In addition to the well-known summer musical, Ye Olde Opera House also produces several shows every year in their main street location.

Spring Grove, Minnesota has been recognizing founding fathers and honoring our Norwegian-American heritage since 1973 with an annual city celebration.
