WELCOME TO THE THOMASTON OPERA HOUSE

Built in 1884, the Thomaston Opera House serves as a cultural and educational center for the Town of Thomaston and its surrounding communities. Once inside one cannot help but admire the beautiful craftsmanship found throughout the auditorium. These are not the only attributes of the Thomaston Opera House though. Many of its recent accolades are for the community and regional-based theatre presented throughout the year. Our Main Stage, Arts Center and Children’s Series shows are often performed to sold out audiences and provide a level of entertainment in community theatre that is unsurpassed in the area.

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS
September 18, 24, 25, October 1 & 2, 2010 at 8:00pm
September 19, 26 & October 3, 2010 at 2:00pm

Based on the popular 1988 film, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS centers on two con men living on the French Riviera. The first is the suave and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson, who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. The other, a small-time crook named Freddy Benson, more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health.

After meeting on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate, wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues, that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!

Contains some adult language and humor and may not be suitable for those under 13.

RUGRATS: A LIVE ADVENTURE
October 16, 17, 23 & 24, 2010 at 1:00pm & 4:00pm

Welcome to the world of the RUGRATS, Nickelodeon’s classic hit animated series about life from a baby’s point of view. Whenever adults are around, the RUGRATS act like real babies, but when they’re alone they drop their witless pose and talk to each other with the vocabulary of five-year-olds. As TOMMY and his pals wobble through life, supported by legs not yet used to walking, they show us the world as a baby views and understands it. The RUGRATS’ world is one that exists below our knees; here mundane things and events turn into grand, comic adventures.
