Van-ar-chy Comes Home:
Billy B. Van’s Lost
Silent Comedies
Sunday, November 1, 2026
2:00 PM
Newport Opera House
More than a century after it was filmed in and around Newport and Sunapee, a long-lost silent comedy starring vaudeville entertainer and local filmmaker Billy B. Van is coming home!
Presented by the Newport Historical Society and the Sunapee Historical Society, Van-ar-chy Comes Home: Billy B. Van’s Lost Silent Comedies, offers audiences a rare opportunity to see the Lake Sunapee region as it appeared more than a century ago while rediscovering a fascinating chapter in early American filmmaking.
The program will feature digitally restored presentations of two Billy B. Van comedies from 1919—Van-ar-chy and the role-reversal farce Where Are Your Husbands? Both films were rediscovered more than a century after they were made.
A historical introduction will explore Van’s unusual New Hampshire filmmaking venture and the rapidly developing motion-picture industry of the 1910s.
Making the afternoon even more special, Van-ar-chy will feature new piano accompaniment composed and performed live by pianist Bob Merrill, recreating the experience of seeing a silent film accompanied by live music.
Join us at the historic Newport Opera House for a unique afternoon of local history, silent-film comedy, and live music as Billy B. Van’s lost films return home to the community where they were made.
Please Note: This event is not a Newport Opera House Association (NOHA) production. The NOHA is providing technical and ticketing services for this event.

William Shakespeare's
Much Ado About Nothing
Saturday, December 5, 2026
at 7:00pm
Sunday, December 6, 2026
at 2:00pm
Join us for unforgettable performances of wit, wisdom, and warfare of the heart at the Newport Opera House for Mount Royal Academy’s presentation of William Shakespeare’s timeless comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing."
While many often look to the tragic, impulsive infatuation of Romeo and Juliet as the ultimate romantic ideal, in "Much Ado," Shakespeare offers a far more profound, mature, and enduring vision of love through the story of Benedick and Beatrice, which reminds us that true love is forged in the daylight of intellectual challenge, shared vulnerability, and the virtuous choice to lay down one's pride for the good of another.
Come experience the sparkling dialogue, the hilarious schemes, and the deeper moral beauty of a love that grows from mutual respect and transforms two skeptics into soulmates. Do not miss this celebration of classical theatre, community, and the enduring power of comedic grace.
