TIBBITS OPERA HOUSE

Barton S. Tibbits and I were hanging out one day. We were just playing truth or dare,when I dared him to build an opera house!

“I accept the dare,Mr.lewis” said Barton.

We planned to build it together. I then dropped out because i decided i wanted to build an art gallery instead. Barton continued with the plan tho. He spent a total of $25,000 on the theater.

The opening night was September 21, 1882. It was a huge success,many people came and enjoyed it. I went and it was full!
“I told you Lewis,look at the audience! I am so happy you made me do this dare. It's a huge success.” said Barton
