Bastrop Opera House
« Back
The Bastrop Opera House offers family entertainment at modest prices year-round. When you visit the Bastrop Opera House, you are visiting a piece of downtown Bastrop history and Texas history. Under the direction of Chester Eitze, Executive Director since 1984, volunteers from board members to actors and stage crews continue to uphold the tradition of performing arts programming. On February 1, 1997, the Opera House and its troupe competed in the Texas Non-Profit Theater Festival, and despite being the smallest theater in terms of local population, advanced to state level with Eitze's one-act version of "The Fantasticks." The quality of acting and directing drew rave reviews and brought well-deserved notoriety to Bastrop and the theater.
