If you were thinking about creating a movie situated in a remote, dusty, one horse town complete a really freaky story, you couldn’t do better than what led to the creation of the Amaragosa Opera House in Death Valley Junction, situated along the Nevada-California border in the USA.

In 1967, Marta Becket, a former Broadway dancer, headed out West with her husband on a one-woman tour. 

In Death Valley, their aptly-named Covered Wagon travel trailer blew a tire.

The nearest settlement was thirty miles away.

They limped into Death Valley Junction, population 20. It looked like a ghost town.

The square was dominated by an rundown hotel and the abandoned workers’ flats of a defunct borax mining company. 

But it had a gas station, thank goodness.

With a hand crank telephone.

In 1967.

It also had a derelict community theater.

While her husband Tom repaired the tire, Marta wandered over to the theater.

She peered through a tiny hole in the back door.

“As I peered through that tiny hole,” Marta Becket later wrote, “I had the distinct feeling that I was looking at the other half of my life. The building seemed to be saying, ‘Take me. Do something with me. I offer you life.'”

Marta Becket created something so unique that it brings hundreds of tourists from all over the world to this dust out of the way ghost town.

One ghost we know for sure MUST haunt this place is Marta herself.

She poured she soul into this place and we are sure that she still dances on the small stage at the Armagosa Opera House.
