  About the Opera
House Co.Under the artistic direction of David F. Wicks, Jr., of
Dahlgren, the Opera House Co. was a three year proposal that turned into
reality. Along with Opera House Co. executive producer, Aisha Mitchell, the two
began a two-month endeavor to realize a dream. With the opening of Gilbert and
Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance in May of 2007 and its successful close, a full
season was in order. David and Aisha wish to see the tiny theatre company
flourish in years to come. They feel that theatre stimulates, celebrates and
enhances the understanding of ourselves and of others through the shared
experience of live theatre. There is nothing like standing in front of a live
audience and sharing with them the hard work and love that goes into a
theatrical production. The Opera House Co. wishes to include all of the
communities in Southern Illinois, to share the theatre experience with anyone
willing to freely suspend reality for an evening, and to introduce the art of
theatre to the children in our communities. The Opera House Co. is forever
grateful to the beautiful City of Sesser for allowing them to call the Historic
Opera House home, and for giving them the financial support to keep the theatre
alive.
Since that first show the group has produced 9 more successful
shows in it’s 3 seasons. The Company strives to bring quality theatrical
performances to the people of Southern Illinois and inspire new and veteran
actors alike to continue doing what they love.
