Latrobe's Showalter Opera House played host to some of Broadway's finest

of the town's cultural activities for more than 30 years. High school

The Opera House was a magnificent structure. It had a capacity of more than

gallery known as peanut heaven. The aisles and stairs were carpeted and the
seats were upholstered.
