Welcome to the Friend Opera House
One of the few remaining opera houses in Nebraska worthy of
restoration, the Warren Opera House sits and waits for restoration to
take place.  Members of the Friend Historical Society are dedicated to
restoring this historic building to its original grandeur.    
The Warren Opera House was host to
traveling theater troupes, musical
performers, sporting events and political
debates.
The San Carlo awning has arrived!
The Historical Society welcomed about 50 guests
to our open house on July 3.  Everyone enjoyed
the tours and especially our new DVD.  We made
a good start at raising funds, but we need your
support.  Please send your contribution today!
