Item Description

Get the tour that inspired the Indigo Girls to write a song about The Music Hall...

Go back in time with this specialized 90-minute "Techie Tour" of The Music Hall. Not only will you hear about 400 years of history on this site (with a focus on the last 142, of course) from our Historian Zhana Morris, but you will get to see up close and personal exactly how our Production team makes things happen backstage. Learn how they integrate rigging methods that date back to the Ancient Greek theater with modern technology. Ever wonder how they change the color of the lights? Or focus a single beam to highlight a piece of scenery while keeping the rest of the stage dark? Exactly how hard is it to raise and lower the big red curtain?

Wonder no more: On this tour, you will not only hear about it, but you will also get to do it yourself! Tour through all areas of the theater, from the stage and up into the rafters, to see exactly how things work. See autographs and engravements of the men who built our theater in 1878 and learn the details of our recent restoration and capital campaign progress.
