The Marigny Opera House is an unaffiliated, non-denominational, neighborhood church and performance venue that offers community-based arts programs, and hosts 12-step recovery groups and writers groups. 
It is supported by The Marigny Opera House Foundation, a private, non-profit foundation.

At present, the building is zoned and being used as a private residence. The Marigny Opera House Foundation is in the process of improving the church to make the historic building suitable for services, public performances and events. We expect to begin a full performance schedule by the end of 2012.
