Jason Erickson, member of the Homestake Opera House and the unbelievably enthusiastic youth team from Celebration Methodist Church in Brandon, SD visited the Black Hills right before summer hit and spent 4 hours in the building... they swept, dusted, moved a ton of chairs, climbed ladders, toured, laughed, sweated, and shared their life experiences with us. THANK YOU so much for being so generous with your gifts of time and talent. http://www.celebrationbrandon.org/   TOP: Jason Erickson (on the ladder) and another volunteer of he Celebration Methodist Church in Brandon, SD pose while in the basement office section of the Homestake Opera House.

HISTORIC HOMESTAKE OPERA HOUSE SOCIETY MISSION:
Built in 1914 by the Phoebe Hearst and her Homestake Gold Mining Company, this historic performing arts venue and recreation center boasted an exquisite theater with 1,000 seats, and a library, a bowling alley, a billiards hall, a social hall, and a heated indoor swimming pool.
From its construction in 1914 until a catastrophic fire in 1984, the Opera House was the center of community life and lifelong education in Lead, South Dakota. The Society is dedicated to its restoration, use, and preservation for future generations, in the belief that it is the cornerstone for the preservation, renewal, and development of our community.
While these efforts continue, the Society makes use of the facility to the extent possible to generate revenue and advance its mission. The theater is host to 40 performing arts/educational events while restoration progress is underway from a fire in 1984. The theater currently seats 500. Visit year-round for building tours and see the new Interpretive Center upstairs and recently restored walls in the theater.
