C.L. Hoover Opera House

Being one of my first Opera Houses this completely met my low standards and made them high! This little place has been the settings of many of my nights due to the wide range of plays they have such as a little theater that has children audition from any and every background and have different shows, such as Grease and Hairspray.The Opera house is clean with little to no trash in the seats making it easier to relax and enjoy they show. The inside is smaller than you would imagine, but they make up for it with adding a second row with booth seats. They also did a good job with keeping a wide area in the seats so you don't have an awkward situation on standing up and having a stranger push onto you, because there's enough leg room for you to stand up.The directors make the show fun and interact with the guests, for example tonight they had a give away if they reached 100 likes on Facebook, but even though they did not they still gave the prize away!

My husband and I did an impromptu road trip to Manhattan so I could see my old university stomping grounds. When a friend had to cancel plans for Saturday evening, we needed to find something to keep us entertained. After googling "live music" we found "Jazz at the Junction" at the Opera House. We made the drive over to Junction City and are so glad we did. We didn't actually see the theater, as the jazz concert was held in the lobby. The group performing was Wayne Goin and Friends and the music was fantastic. There was a $5 suggested donation at the door, free popcorn, and snacks, beer and wine also available by donation. There was a good sized crowd for a small, community theater in Junction City. There was a tv in the lobby with scrolling announcements of upcoming events and it looks like they have a little of everything...musicals, comedy, dance, and productions for children. If I lived in Junction City I'd definitely take advantage of the events this little opera house is offering.
