About CL Hoover Opera House - Junction City
Nestled in the heart of Junction City, the CL Hoover Opera House stands as a historic multi-use performing arts and civic center with deep community roots. Located at 135 W 7th St, this 1882-built venue carries the legacy of the Colonial Theater era and was thoughtfully restored, reopening as the CL Hoover Opera House in 2008 after a major renovation. Today, it serves as the home for the Junction City Little Theater, the Arts Council, and the Junction City Community Band, offering a vibrant season of productions and events for locals and visitors alike.
