Here is a link to an excellent article written by Professor Sada Reed of Arizona State University’s Walter Kronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications. This was written just prior to the formation of the Amherst Opera House Co. Guild 501(c)3 and subsequent purchase of the Amherst Opera House. https://www.sadareed.com/single-post/amherst-hopeful-for-opera-house-s-future

The Amherst Opera House is beginning a project to replace all basement windows as well as the south, basement, and rear stage entrance doors. This project will cost approximately $37,000.00, please consider making a donation that will be matched by Jerome Guyant.

Tim Atwood has performed twice at the Amherst Opera House in the last 2 years. Tim & Roxanne Atwood have become close friends of the Amherst Opera House. Congratulations Tim on all the years of hard work. The induction into the GOO Hall of Fame is well deserved. Tim’s statement follows:

“Sunday night I was inducted into the Independent Country Music Hall of Fame at the Josie Awards at the Grand Ole Opry House! This was a big deal for me.

Honestly, this was such an amazing night, made absolutely perfect when my longtime friend Jeannie Seely came out in support of me because she loves me. We love each other.

Sharing the stage with Jeannie that night was magical. I know the house was filled with music crusaders, but when Seely and I began to sing, for me, we were the only two people in the room. There was magic in the air for me. It’s true. You can’t make old friends…you earn them with time and trust, respect and love. And to receive a standing ovation after that performance at the Grand Ole Opry House was the bow on the package. My heart was full!”
