If historic locations of acting and "treading the boards" is your thing, then you must, must, must visit this beautiful historic theater! Lovingly maintained since the copper rush of the late 1800's, it's smaller size and lavishly antique interior recall an older time when stars of the stage were legendary figures. Such a figure was Sarah Bernhardt, a French actress, who was loved and admired by Alphonse Mucha, the man who created the Art Nouveau art style. In those days, Calumet was an adjunct to the Calumet and Hecla Copper Mine, and the town was bustling with people eager for a grand night out. Her performances gathered crowds and all were thrilled to see the famed actress whom many today consider one of the best known of all time. While things have become a lot slower in Calumet since the days of copper mining, the town has not forgotten them especially since their lovely theater is still hosts performances to this day. I understand that tours are also available.
Historic theatre with all of the fixins. Creaky seats? Check. Old murals? Check. Steep nosebleed sections? Check. Lots of random shows come up here and it's a fun atmosphere to be in here in the modern era. Plus, the building looks great from the outside!
Saw a Pink Floyd cover band here in the Fall. Love the building and volunteers that make the events so nice!
The Calumet Theatre is such a beautiful piece of local history, I've been there many times to watch dance shows.To be honest I like the theatre's elegant architecture more than the shows lol.
Of course the seats are a little creaky, but it's still a beautiful theatre with great sound!
The theatre also has very intresting history and I hope to take a tour one day.
