Politician was shipwrecked in the Outer Hebrid Whiskey Galore is a remake of the 1949 classic film based on the events of 1941 when the S.S. Politician was shipwrecked in the Outer Hebrides. The inhabitants of a nearby Eriskay tried to salvage the huge cargo of whisky on board the ship (50,000 cases of whisky), leading to a hilarious battle between the wily islanders and the British authorities. The original Opera House has been a cultural and community centerpiece in Havre de Grace since 1871. From the early days of touring opera companies, the Opera House filled a need for entertainment, children’s activities and social engagements.  This tradition continues in the 21st century with an investment from the people for the people.  The newly renovated Cultural Center at the Opera House serves as a state-of-the-art venue for everyone in the region for children’s theater, touring companies, local performances, music, film and other arts.  This new ADA compliant facility represents the community’s commitment to the arts, to the vitalization of the Arts & Entertainment District, and to the preservation of its history. The Cultural Center at the Opera House is made possible through the generosity and support of the community and the City of Havre de Grace.
