Johnson Hall

The mission of Johnson Hall is to promote, create and inspire artistic excellence through the presentation of world-class entertainment and professional performing arts education and to drive cultural and economic growth for our community.

Johnson Hall is the Oldest Opera House in Maine and is the leading theatrical force in the Kennebec Valley.  At present all performances are held in our 117 seat studio theater on the first floor and we have begun a second and third floor renovation process that will reopen the historic third floor theater no later than 2019.

  • Maine Event Comedy Presents: Amy Tee!

    Johnson Hall Opera House 280 Water Street, Gardiner, ME, United States

    Maine Event Comedy presents touring stand-up comedian Amy Tee at Johnson Hall Opera House on Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 pm. The show will also feature Ryan Gartley and Mike Levinsky. Tee performs all over the country and brings boyish charm and dry wit to her experiences with alcoholism, bipolar disorder, and the road to recovery. Her twisted dance between stereotypes and reality delivers comedy with stigma-busting honesty. Through a ton of hard work and self-discovery, she is now over ten years sober and has dedicated her life to traveling the road of wellness and assisting others along the way. Gartley was featured on the internationally syndicated Steve Katsos Show and was a semi-finalist in the Portland and Boston Comedy Festivals. His observations and dry humor have earned him opening spots for Lenny Clarke, Jeff Dunham, and Steven Wright. Levinsky has over a decade of experience in the New England scene. His material is as hilarious as it is thought-provoking. Mike has worked with nationally touring comics Louis Ramey and Myq Kaplan. Johnson Hall is located at 280 Water St. in Gardiner. The show is for ages 21-plus and will contain adult language and content.
