Built in 1882, Tibbits Opera House features an exquisite, award-winning, French Second Empire exterior. It is among the oldest theatres in Michigan. Rich in history and ambiance, the theatre offers nearly perfect acoustics, an intimate 500-seat setting, and great entertainment year round. Shows vary from professional Summer Theatre, family shows, and an Entertainment Series of professional touring performers to community events, plays, musicals, concerts and variety shows. The building houses a permanent 19th century art collection and a unique community mural of "American Gothic." An art gallery exhibits shows by regional artists. Tours are available by appointment.

How fortunate Coldwater is to have this historic treasure. Young people have a place to try their hand at acting and behind the scenes support. Performances are held throughout the year for all ages, everything from school programs to plays to 1960s music.

I just saw the middle school/high school play "The Little Mermaid" at Tibbits a couple weeks ago. They are restoring the building and it's just lovely. I can't wait to see it finished. The play was excellent! Nice to see such talent in our community, and in a lovely setting.

Since moving to Coldwater 2 years ago, we've attended various events at Tibbits. The acoustics and ambience delight, although in summer, the AC lacks enough power. Volunteer ushers always so pleasant, and the summer theater offerings delight. There are also comedy and musical offerings through the year.

If you come to Coldwater make sure you stop at Tibbits. Tibbits is a 134 year old building that is slowly being restored to it's original beauty. This theater has almost perfect acoustics. There is no need to over amplified microphones in this place with sound levels breaking the sound barrier. Try to see one of their summer stock shows....
