The acclaimed Missoula Children’s Theatre is coming to town for a week-long workshop that culminates in a public performance of “Jack and the Beanstalk,” a fun show with music, sets, costumes, makeup and cast of local students. The Camden Opera House was built in 1894, and was once the tallest building in Knox County. The massive building was also home to several businesses and a businessman’s club.

Burns, who grew up in Maine, said she is looking forward to performing in her father’s hometown – for the second time this year, having been part of Jazz in June, according to COH, in a news release. She studied music at the University of New Hampshire, with graduate studies in improvisation at San Jose State. After establishing herself in the San Francisco jazz scene, she returned to the East Coast and the opportunities to play with world-class musicians New York City offers. Author/illustrator/pianist Stephen Costanza and friends offer multimedia presentation of his new youth reader biography of Scott Joplin.

Our distinguished Inn is located just a half-mile from downtown Camden. Our Inn’s walkability to all of the great things to do in Camden is just the beginning of what makes our Select Registry property so special. “Her three-octave range, sure sense of rhythm and perfect intonation have her singing at top Big Apple venues including Birdland, Mezzrow and The Stayton Room of the Lexington Hotel, where she has a monthly residency,” said COH.

The building is a three-story historic brick structure and “Camden Opera House” appears above the arched doorway in gilded letters. Our very outspoken teenagers use their voices through dance to speak out about the events that have unfolded across the world this past year. With positivity, light, courage and willingness to grow, dancers rejoice and celebrate in the love and connection they have in this moment right now, and with one another. Visit  to see our upcoming events calendar, or learn how to rent the opera house for your event. Opening night, June 6, 1894 featured the Boston Opera Company’s performance of “Maritama,” a grand ball with music by the company orchestra, and dessert in the Banquet Hall.

Our multi-room facility has enabled us to meet the needs of a variety of productions. Local school children still shine in school plays and concerts. The opera house is fitted with a 500-seat auditorium, which hosts orchestras, movies, concerts, and conferences.

Attracting hundreds of people from all over the country, these events employ the magnificent scenery, inns, and restaurants of Camden as a “campus,” and the Camden Opera House its gem in the center. This rollercoaster of a show takes you on a journey, from sheer joy and celebration of the movement arts to heartfelt messages where dancers address serious topics such as mental health awareness and our warming planet. Dancers celebrate true hip hop culture, spicy Latin jazz, and heart-moving contemporary dancing that will comfort the soul and invite you in to transform grit into grace before the night is over.

In 1993 the building was yet again in need of attention.
