Admission is by donation. Classes will be held Friday, April 12 and Friday, May 17 at 11:15 a.m. in the HHOH Smart Center. Please use the rear entrance to the building, 308 Julius Street, Lead. Music & Movement with Friends kicks off a new series of education and outreach programs at the Historic Opera House. Supported by a grant from the John T. Vucurevich Foundation, the HHOH will expand hands-on learning in the arts and humanities for families and residents of the Lead area. The Historic Homestake Opera House (HHOH) was a visionary architectural and cultural gift to the City of Lead in 1914 from owner of the Homestake Gold Mine, Phoebe Hearst, who cared deeply about arts, culture, and education for the miners and their families. The facility included a library, theater, indoor pool, and bowling alley. The theater burned in 1984 and sat empty for over a decade. The HHOH has raised and spent more than $4 million in restoration, programs, and operations to date. The HHOH is a contributing landmark in the historic district of Lead, SD, on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a National Landmark of American Music. -30- Historic Homestake Opera House Society is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation established in 1998 with the mission of returning the Opera House to productive use for the education and enrichment of the citizens of our community in order to provide educational and cultural opportunities for generations to come. This institution is an equal opportunity provider and employer. www.HomestakeOperaHouse.org
