S2 E7: Musician Penny Menze and Calumet Theatre President Dan Jamison

National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation Season 2 Episode 7

On March 20, 1900, life in Michigan’s Copper Country forever changed with the opening of the Calumet Opera House. As one of the first municipal theaters in the country, it attracted some of America’s finest actors and performers including Sarah Bernhardt, Harry Houdini, and John Philip Sousa. Now, as one of the 21 Heritage Sites of the Keweenaw National Historical Park, work is underway to celebrate that history and in this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with musician Penny Menze and Calumet Theatre President Dan Jamison about an upcoming concert on Saturday, March 5, with Nashville’s Gary Hannan and friends.
