Opera
House 
The
Clarkson Opera House traces its roots to September 23, 1913,
when the ZCBJ bought lots for a brick structure for meetings, Czech-language
entertainment, concerts, dances, movies, and family celebrations.
The ZCBJ managed the Opera House until February 5, 1963, when the building was leased to Clarkson VFW Post 6419. Over the years, the VFW had the building rewired, remodeled the rest rooms and kitchen, added heaters and ceiling fans. After nearly 40 years, the VFW members realized younger people were needed to revitalize this cultural treasure in Clarkson.
In June 2002, Clarkson Community Opera House Inc., a non-profit organization, took over the Opera House. The group plans to refinish the dance floor, replace the old heating and air conditioning systems, add new wiring, ceiling fans in the dance area, and handicapped ramps. The Opera House continues to be the year-around center for family and commuity activities, including special events during the annual Czech Festivals in late June. Still carefully used are the many old-fashioned backdrops on the stage.
For more information about booking activities or donating toward special projects, contact Chuck Hamernik at Bluebird Nursery, (402) 892-3457 or follow us on our Facebook page.
