Kevin Lane Dearinger, retired Broadway actor, singer, English teacher, and prolific author, joins Kate Savage to share the fascinating story behind his new book, At the Lexington Opera House: A Scrapbook, 1887–2026. In a lively and engaging conversation, Kevin delves into the rich history of Lexington’s beloved opera house, from its 19th-century glory days—when everyone from world-famous performers and vaudeville acts to live animals graced its stage—to brushes with neglect, disrepair, and even scandal. He discusses surprising discoveries from his research, the significance of its restoration, and the deep cultural importance of the opera house in Lexington’s artistic life. With anecdotes about forgotten legends, local heroes, and the evolving face of live theater, Kevin’s scrapbook invites readers to cherish the magic, quirks, and enduring spirit of this historic venue.
