Select Wednesdays, the venerable Appalachian Theatre of the High Country will provide staff-led guided tours of their historic facility starting at 1 p.m. Tours are free of charge and last approximately 45 minutes.
The tour includes a walk-through of the venue, insight into the theatre's history, and a 15-minute short film chronicling the evolution of the space and featuring first-hand perspectives. Tour goers explore the theatre's historical photo gallery, hear stories and anecdotes about the venue and its role throughout the years, and visit the audience and backstage areas of the newly-refurbished theatre.
"This venue, its traditions, and the stories surrounding it are near and dear to the hearts of those who've made history here,” said App Theatre Executive Director Suzanne Livesay. “The mini-documentary shares wonderful backstory and helps newcomers better understand and relate to the rich history of the theatre."
