Welcome to Plainfield’s Historic Town Hall Opera House!
This classic 1840 Greek Revival building on U.S. Route 2 in Plainfield, Vermont, originally a Universalist Church, was converted by local citizens into an opera house for the benefit of local residents and visitors in 1911. It has recently undergone a major renovation so that it can continue to serve as the cultural and civic center for the people of Plainfield and nearby communities for years to come.
​
The Plainfield Town Hall Opera House is a modest-sized, affordable venue, with a capacity of 240 people (including a balcony that holds 45).
​
It is available to host all kinds of events – opera, theater, lectures, dances, movies, weddings, meetings, and other special events. It is valued for its excellent acoustic qualities and for the ambiance created by its high, tin-clad ceilings and walls, its hardwood floor, tall sash windows, proscenium stage and red velvet curtains.
​
The building is owned and maintained by the town of Plainfield and is managed by the non-profit “Friends of the Plainfield Town Hall Opera House” (FTHOH), an organization of volunteers dedicated to keeping the arts and community alive and thriving in Plainfield and the surrounding region.
