What is Croswell Opera House (croswell.org)?
Updated
Croswell Opera House (croswell.org) is the official website of a historic theater in the United States that has operated for more than 150 years, making it one of the oldest continuously operating theaters in the country. The site is the box office and information hub for the venue: it lists current and upcoming shows, links to ticket and subscription purchases, publishes an events schedule, and explains ways to audition, volunteer, or donate. Use it if you want to see what's playing, buy tickets or a subscription package, or get involved with the theater.
What you'll find on the site
The homepage is organized around what's happening now and next, plus the venue's food, drink, and retail offerings.
Shows and events
The site highlights an "Up Next" production along with a broader list of "More Shows & Events." Examples from the page include:
| Production | Dates |
|---|---|
| The Hunchback of Notre Dame | October 16 – October 25 |
| Disney's Frozen | November 20 – December 6 |
| Home for the Holidays Concert & Gala | December 12 – December 13 |
Each listing links to tickets, and the site also promotes a full events calendar beyond mainstage productions.
Farver's at the Croswell
Farver's is the theater's on-site food and drink space. According to the site, it opens Wednesday through Saturday starting at 4pm and hosts live music, improv, whiskey tastings, and workshops. A separate event schedule covers this programming.
Gift shop
The gift shop sells handmade ceramic mugs, locally made artisan chocolates, shirts, and other gifts.
Buying tickets and subscriptions
Tickets are purchased through the individual show listings. The site also offers subscription packages via a dedicated subscribe page, which is the route to take if you plan to attend multiple productions rather than a single performance. Note that the site lists subscription as a pricing option but does not publish prices on the pages reviewed here, so check the subscribe page or the box office for current rates.
Ways to get involved
The site presents three main paths beyond attending:
- Audition — all plays and musicals are cast locally through open auditions.
- Volunteer — the theater relies on volunteers, and the site describes getting involved as easy.
- Donate — you can support live theater in the community by becoming a donor.
Who this site is for
Croswell.org serves a local and regional audience looking for live theater, concerts, and community events in one historic venue. It is a community-focused performing arts site rather than a streaming or ticketing marketplace — its purpose is to get people into the building, whether as audience members, cast, volunteers, or donors. If you want to know what's on stage, buy seats, or join the organization, this is the starting point.
