Help Us Maintain our Historic Treasure!

The Plainfield Opera House on US Route 2 in Plainfield, VT, was converted by local citizens into an opera house for the benefit of local residents and visitors in 1911. It now serves as the cultural and civic center for the people of Plainfield and nearby communities: opera, theater, lectures, dances, movies, weddings, meetings, and other special events. The Opera House has excellent acoustic qualities and ambiance created by high, tin-clad ceilings and walls, 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 nonprofit Plainfield Arts, an organization of volunteers dedicated to keeping the arts and community alive and thriving in Plainfield and the surrounding region.
