Once again, we're proud to host the 7th Annual Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival at the historic Mauch Chunk Opera House, one of the oldest remaining vaudeville theaters in the U.S.  Built in 1881 adjacent to what was known as "Millionaire’s Row," this 400 seat concert hall was a whistlestop for emerging vaudeville stars as well as a popular gathering spot for dignitaries, merchants and politicians.  Today, the Mauch Chunk Opera House is one of the northeast’s premiere intimate concert venues.
