Randy Taapken, playing the villainous role Arthur Rutherford in “Only an Orphan Girl,” has his costume adjusted before dress rehearsal inside the historic Grand Opera House in Beardstown. The building was purchased by the Historic Preservation Foundation and later placed in the National Register of Historic Places. Parts of the walls are exposed and the roof still leaks. It will take many thousands of hours and millions of dollars to restore the building to its previous condition, but now the stage is at least usable. September 11, 2011
