Wilbur Comic Opera Company debuts at Struthers Hall
The Wilbur Opera Company opened last Monday night in Struther's Hall to a fair crowd but not full seats. Ticket sales declined after the first evening as locals balked at high prices. The troupe drew mixed reception yet praise for merit and the hall's acoustics, with Struthers feeling honored by the donor's memory. Audience from nearby towns attended, and the company hopes for warmer reception on future visits.
