GHOSTLY SHENANIGANS AT THE  HISTORIC WOODLAND OPERA HOUSE

The Ghost of Woodland Opera House is inspired by the history of the WOH and the heroism of Woodland resident and volunteer firefighter William W. Porter. Porter was the single casualty of the fire of 1892 that resulted in the loss of the original Opera House along with many downtown buildings and residences.

Since Porter’s death, there have been numerous reports of ghostly sightings throughout the years at the Woodland Opera House. Volunteers and visitors, actors and audience members alike claim to have experienced supernatural specters, strange smells, and startling sounds. Traditionally, many of these unexplained events have been attributed to William Porter whose spirit purportedly still inhabits the historic theatre.

A new comedy by Matthew Abergel and Bob Cooner, The Ghost of Woodland Opera House tells the story of a troupe of traveling actors in 1909 who arrive at the theatre to perform their latest melodrama. But mysterious accidents make a mess of their dress rehearsal. Could it be the malevolent meddling of the ghost that reportedly haunts the Opera House? This show is perfect for the Fall/Halloween season!
