A message from Stoughton Opera House:

Well...it's hard to come up with a good way to communicate this, so we'll just come out and say it - due to the ongoing global pandemic all scheduled Opera House performances for 2020 have been postponed to the Spring of 2021.

As many of you know, the Opera House has found success these last years through the tireless work of a very small staff, many volunteers, and some of the kindest most devoted patrons imaginable. We know how lucky we are to have you and we've pushed ourselves harder and harder each season to earn the support you've given. Maybe that's why - even in the face of a global pandemic - we feel we've let you down.

The good news is we're going to keep on going and try to push through this thing. We'll be ready with an even better Opera House experience (no we aren't replacing the chairs) when it's safe to have shows again.  As I'm sure some of you have experienced at home or at work, it isn't easy to keep working hard at getting nowhere. Our staff has been reduced to two, so we're going to have our hands full.

There is a list of the postponed shows further down. Many of the shows listed have confirmed new dates, but some are still tentative. Be assured that all of the artists are scheduling new dates, so more info soon. The exciting part is that we will be announcing a bunch of new shows for the Spring of 2021 this Labor Day (some really good ones) and putting the whole bunch back on-sale to our members on Monday, October 12! The general public on-sale will be on Monday, October 26.

Becoming a member or holding onto your tickets for the postponed shows are the best things you can do right now to help keep us going. Become a member HERE. For questions, please reach us at: boxoffice@stoughtonoperahouse.com.

(2016 pick) Scott is a latter-day Utah Phillips, traveling and living the music as he writes it. Based in Nashville by way of Kentucky, Indiana, Southern California, Toronto and Boston, he’s one of those folks every musician you love wants to play with or cover — including Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Sam Bush, Guy Clark, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Robert Plant. Brad Paisley’s cover of Scott’s “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” was the closing song in the final scene of the first season finale of Justified. With luck Scott will perform, “Hank Williams’ Ghost,” a rare song on the subject that ditches despondence in favor of truth and honor.
