January 2009 E-Newsletter Hello again everyone. We here at the Twin City Opera House hope that everyone's Christmases were as wonderful as ours. We celebrated in grand style this year. From movies to variety shows this holiday season had everything at the Opera House and successfully put everyone in the holiday spirit. Congratulations to Dan Keffer, the winner of the 'major award,' a genuine leg lamp just like the one featured in the movie "A Christmas Story." According to my sources, Mr. Keffer and family proudly displayed their new family member in their home for all to see and bask in its glory. Thanks to all of our sponsors for the weekend's events which includes: Shriver's Pharmacy, Citizens National Bank, and McDonalds of McConnelsville, Ginny's Flower Shop, and thanks to all who attended and supported our endeavors. January 2009 will be packed full of great movies and stage shows. Look further down the page for our complete list of movies. On Saturday January 10, 2009 we will be hosting Jim Forshey and his Elvis Tribute Birthday Show. The doors will open at 6:00 pm and show time will begin at 7:00 pm. On Saturday January 17, the Ohio Valley Opry will make their return to the stage as well. Sadly, the folks at the Ohio Valley Opry have decided to return to their regular schedule of one show per month, so get your tickets early as this show will undoubtedly sell out. On Saturday January 31, the Opera House will host the "Y-City Barbershop Chorus." Show information is further down the page. For those of you interested in renting the theater for video games, don't wait, get your reservation today! It is $20.00 per hour.

Ecophones The Twin City Opera House will be taking part in a recycling fundraiser. Items to be collected will be: cell phones, ink jets, DVD’s, laptops, MP3 players, video game consoles, digital cameras, GPS devices, digital picture frames and portable DVD players. All proceeds from the collection will go directly to Opera House capital improvements and programming for 2008. There will be a special collection bin located in the Opera House lobby through the end of November 2007. Approved items may be donated during normal operating hours or special arrangements may be made to deliver items at other times by calling 740-962-3030. This fundraising opportunity is brought to us by EcoPhones. Kroger Cares We are now proud to be a part of another unique fund raising opportunity, the Kroger Cares program. The idea is simple and works like this: 1) Purchase a Kroger Gift Card from the Opera House for $5.00 2) The card will have a balance of $5.00 already on it. 3) Shop at Kroger stores. 4) When you go to the store, go to the cashier and put as much money on your card as you would like (Maximum of $500). 5) Use the card like cash to purchase groceries and gas. 6) The Twin City Opera House will receive 5% of our collective purchases. The card can be used forever. Whenever your balance gets low, just visit the cashier and put more money on it before you shop. It is very easy and a great way to help the theater by doing something you already do! Just stop in our give us a call to purchase your card and start helping us out. They make a great gift for Christmas or for your college student miles from home. Misc. Have you checked out the vintage advertising slides from the good old days of the Twin City Opera House?

If any individual is disruptive to the point that they are a consistent distraction for other patrons, the Twin City Opera House reserves the right to eject that patron for the remainder of a show or movie or for a longer period of time if necessary. We hope that this never has to happen as we are in the business of serving all sections of the population. 1-740-962-3030 Home | Movies | Music | Magic | Mystery | History | Board | Staff | Rental | Links | Photos |
