🎭✨ Help Preserve the Island Falls Theatre! ✨🎭

After receiving some unexpected information, theatre restoration and preservation is back on the table and we’ll continue to pursue that goal from here on out! Given this information and some new details that we were unaware were in route, we do see this working out eventually! Please feel free to support the endeavor in any way you can!

The Island Falls Theatre is a historic treasure, and our 501(c)(3) nonprofit is working hard to restore it, bring it up to code, and create a safe space for community events, performances, and educational programs.

We can’t do it alone — your support makes a real difference! Every dollar goes directly to restoring the theatre and supporting our charitable mission.

✅ Tax-deductible
✅ Helps preserve a historic landmark
✅ Supports community programs and fundraising for other organizations

🎉 Our Theatre Will Be for You!
Once we raise enough funds to meet all safety, code, and accessibility requirements, the theatre will be available free of charge for anyone hosting fundraisers for ill family members, charitable causes, or other nonprofit organizations. All proceeds from these events will go directly to the intended beneficiary.

💡 No Theatre Activity Will Ever Be for Personal Profit:
All events are strictly for the benefit of the event holders and for the continued upkeep and restoration of the theatre and attached structures that keep it functional and safe.

Even a small contribution helps us take one more step toward saving this beautiful theatre for future generations. Let’s make magic together! 🌟

The Heart of the Opera House

When I first stepped into the Island Falls Opera House, it didn’t feel abandoned, it felt asleep.

Most people saw a worn-out building, empty for twenty years. They saw sagging beams, cracked plaster, and dust where music used to live. I saw something else, a pulse. Faint, maybe, but still there.

It never struck me as eerie. Not once. There was something deeper about it, something I can only call mystical. The place had a presence, like it had been waiting for someone who could still hear what others had stopped listening for.

The cellar drew me in first. Maybe it’s strange, but I always feel grounded down there. I’ll stand quietly, touch the old wooden supports, and it’s like I can feel the whole building breathing. The wood is cool and smooth in some spots, rough in others, solid, scarred, alive. Sometimes I catch myself staring, studying every joint, every nail, every mark left by hands that were here a hundred years before mine. In those moments, I don’t feel like I’m inside the Opera House, I feel like I am part of it.

The attic has a different kind of pull. It’s still and bright, the air thick with dust and sunlight. When the wind moves through the cracks, it hums softly, and I swear I can almost hear the faint echoes of old applause or laughter drifting somewhere in the beams. Peaceful, but powerful, like standing inside a memory.

People have asked me why I’d live here, of all places. Why bring life back to something that so many had already given up on? The truth is, I don’t know how not to. This building waited twenty years for someone to care. Somehow, that someone ended up being me.

It’s strange, but sometimes I think the Opera House remembers me, too. When the light hits just right, or a board creaks in a familiar way, it feels like a quiet acknowledgment, a thank you, maybe, from something far older than me.

I’ve come to realize it isn’t haunted by ghosts. It’s haunted by history. By living here, breathing, fixing, listening, I’m not disturbing it. I’m helping it remember.

After so many years of silence, the Opera House finally has a heartbeat again. That heartbeat is mine…

History rich, these walls have seen,
Footlights bright and velvet green.
Laughter, music, whispered tales,
Curtains dancing with the gales.

Vacancy lingered, silent and stark,
Echoes fading in the dark.
Dusty floors and broken lights,
Haunted by forgotten nights.

But hands of vision, hearts of care,
Brought new life to this old lair.
Hammer, brush, and careful art,
Breathed fresh rhythm into its heart.

Every beam and every stair,
Speaks again with flair to spare.
Stories old and new entwine,
In the Opera House, once resigned.

Now music soars where silence slept,
Dreams awaken where shadows crept.
From history rich, through vacancy’s blight,
Shines new life, and lights the night.

Come gather here, both young and wise,
Where past and present harmonize.
A home for hearts, for song, for art,
The Opera House, a beating heart.
