TITLE: It’s Saturday Night All Weekend at Opera House Arts

Stonington, ME—The Stonington Opera House will screen the new film, Saturday Night, on Fri., Nov. 15 at 7pm, Sat., Nov. 16 at 7pm, and Sun., Nov. 17 at 2pm.  Step back to a Saturday night on October 11, 1975, when a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. Find out what happened behind the scenes in the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live. 

Stonington Opera House box office and concession stand opens 1 hour prior to each film screening.  Tickets can also be purchased ahead of time at operahousearts.org.  Tickets prices are $9 for adults and $5 for age 17 and under.  All movies are free to Hancock County students with ID.  

The Stonington Opera House is a historic center of culture and entertainment, a performance space, and a civic gathering place. Our work is rooted in the belief that access to and participation in the arts transforms lives. 

The Stonington Opera House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 and in 1999, it was rescued by the founders of Opera House Arts, a 501 (c) 3, that was established specifically to restore this historic building to its original purpose.

A cornerstone of a year-round, vibrant Main Street located at the top of the busiest commercial fishing pier in Maine, the Stonington Opera House is an economic engine for the creative economy of Deer Isle.
