Last week, I attended an exclusive back stage tour of the beautiful Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. The staff took our small group on an informational journey behind the mysterious red stage curtain. We made our way through a maze of hallways and stairs to see the prop storage area, dressing rooms and the famous ‘green room’ where actors wait to go on stage. We learned about the lighting, sound and the tricks of the trade that make each performance a hit! Our tour ended in the main offices where we were treated to appetizers, drinks and wonderful conversation. We were also surprised with free tickets to see the sold out “SPAMALOT” – which was hysterical. I can not wait to attend their next event “The Mad Hatter’s TEA PARTY” (for kids/family 3-4:30 p.m.) and “A Twisted TEA PARTY” (for adults 7-10 p.m.) on June 13. Save the date!
