Become a Friend of the Opera House.

Support the Opera House

The Bellows Falls Opera House is owned and operated by the citizens of Rockingham, Vermont. Our auditorium is part of the Rockingham Town Hall, built in 1926 and serves as both an entertainment venue and as the primary civic meeting space in town. We work hard to keep the Opera House an affordable, family-friendly place to see a movie, a play, or a concert, but the reality is that operating and maintaining a century-old 553-seat theater in the age of television streaming services and multiplexes – let alone planning for the future – requires monies beyond what we can bring in from ticket sales, rentals and concessions. If you agree that we need the BFOH to remain strong, vital and affordable, growing as our town and region grow, we ask you to join us.

Annual Memberships are tax-deductible contributions (less goods and services received) that help keep the Opera House running and ensure that we can build toward the future. Choose the annual membership level that best fits your budget – and thank you!

Remember – “When you’re here, You’re home!”

All are welcome to be part of the Friends of the Bellows Falls Opera House community. When purchasing tickets online, opt into the ok to email category to receive our weekly emailer, keeping you up to date on upcoming live events and films.
