The Opera House was hit by lightning on July 17, 2010 in the middle of the Claire Lynch performance. The lightning took out much of the lighting system and the sound system and subsequent repairs cost over $5000. The repairs were covered in part by insurance and in part by a grant from the Golub Foundation.
