WKBT La Crosse, WI-NewsChannel 8-Wisconsin's oldest theater, Grand Opera House, undergoes repairs
Member Center:
(AP) -- Wisconsin's oldest operating theater building is undergoing some repairs in Oshkosh.
A problem with bindings on beams in the Grand Opera House's attic has caused the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar to postpone shows or temporarily move them to the Alberta Kimball Auditorium, also in Oshkosh.
Grand Opera House Executive Director Joe Ferlo says engineers discovered the flaw as they prepared to install a new fire sprinkler system. He says the building is safe, but shows were moved as a precaution.
The show has been performed at the Grand Opera House for the last 15 years.
