Mauch Chunk Opera House
Historic theater
About
The Mauch Chunk Opera House is an intimate concert hall in downtown Jim Thorpe that seats approximately 450. Its website says it hosts live music, comedy, dance and more nearly every weekend, from classic rock and jazz to bluegrass, folk and theater.
There is a bar with beer, wine and mixed drinks, and a concession bar with soft drinks, water and snacks. There is open floor space in front of the stage for standing and dancing.
History
The theater was built in 1881. Its website calls it one of America's oldest vaudeville theaters, still in operation after more than 140 years.
