The Opera House was built in 1909 by U.S. Martin, who served as Shepherdstown’s mayor. Within that same year, it was sold to the Musser family who installed one of the earliest motion picture projectors. In October, 2010, Lawrence and Julie Cumbo purchased the building and business with a vision to take it to the next level. Since then, continual light and sound system upgrades, an expanded back stage, and revamped green room has allowed this vision to grow into one of the area’s finest music and film venues.
