Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings

I was curious about this place, too,
Ariane, and found out that it's the
Stonington Opera House.

http://www.operahousearts.org/stonington-opera-house

Summarized:

Rebuilt in 1912 after a fire, the Opera
House has hosted vaudeville shows, plays,
dances, basketball games, and numerous
other community events.

It has held a movie-theater off-and-on
since 1918 (which was likely its main
use at the time this photo was taken).
For a while in the 1960s, it even held
a roller-skating rink.

Since 1999, its new non-profit owners
have restored the building to use as
a community-arts-centered place, with
a regular schedule of performing arts
and movies.

I went last week, and got a box of what turns out to be someone's Christmas
pics, and the dog is the subject in most of them ;-)

Sounds like fun. Ariane. I see
that they have a Shakespeare event
and a jazz festival each year.

I was hoping for opera or ballet... .. ... though Dayton (Ohio)
taught me to love Jazz, but this very old and very much "from
the soul" Jazz they played at every corner, and sometimes at
the library too (and not this "shrill & strident" brass-stuff I
don't like at all)...
