The City Opera House and Todd McMillen are hosting a Community Open House to tour the new Bryan Crough Dressing Rooms on Tues., May 5, 6:30-7:30pm. Crough, a longtime supporter of the arts and the restoration of the City Opera House, long advocated for new dressing rooms to better accommodate performers and also to allow it to present Actors Equity Association performances and touring companies, which require separate male and female dressing rooms. Following Crough's death in 2013, McMillen and the City Opera House launched a campaign to build new dressing rooms in honor of Crough.

The project was made possible by many donors, including the Consyumers Energy Foundation, Herrington Fitch Family Foundation, Marty & Olivia Lagina, Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, National Endowment for the Arts. The Oleson Foundation, Rotary Charities of Traverse City, Todd McMillen and many community donors.
