"Coal and culture: Opera Houses in Appalachia is a critical appreciation of the opera house in the coal-mining region of Appalachia. Author William Faricy Condee demonstrates that these were multipurpose facilities that were central to the life of their communities. They housed little, if any, opera, but were used for almost everything else, including traveling theater, concerts, religious events, lectures, boxing matches, union meetings, and - if the auditorium had a flat floor - skating and basketball."--Jacket.
