Thank You
Northlands Job Corps!
It takes a lot of hands to manage the Vergennes Opera House. Recently we had to quickly set the room up for an event and needed some additional help. We turned to our friends at the Northlands Job Corps and there they were! Ready, willing, able, and with youthful enthusiasm, the students showed up and helped to not only set up the room, but to "break it down" a few days later.
Amazing!
Thank you so much for always being willing to chip in and lend a hand (and a strong back) to your adopted community.
We appreciate you!

THANK YOU VERGENNES!
On May 5th, Vergennes voters overwhelmingly approved the lease amendment allowing the Friends of the Vergennes Opera House access to the "ticket booth" on the main level of City Hall. This "change of lease premises" gives our all-volunteer organization a functioning office space. We will continue to be good stewards of this historic building. THANK YOU!

A Perfect Pair
Our lobby floors have been completely refinished and the space looks stunning. The icing on the cake was a recently donated marble-topped table that fits perfectly under our lobby mirror.
The table was a gift from Stephen and Faith Terry in honor of Gerald August Weihs, co-founder of the Friends of the Vergennes Opera House. The mirror above the table was a gift from Carlotta and Paul Tippett of Panton.
Don't they look great together?
