STAGE DOOR TOUR AT FOX THEATRE

$25.00 each (includes bus transport)
Tuesday 7/26/05 - 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
No trip to Atlanta is complete without a visit to the leg­endary Fox Theatre. Take a step back in time at the showplace of the nation where entertainers have per­formed for eight decades. Originally the Yaarab Temple Shrine Mosque, it was designed in the late 1920's as headquarters for the 5,000-member Shriners organization. To generate additional funding, the Shriners worked out a deal with movie mogul William Fox, who at that time was building movie "palaces" in Detroit, St. Louis, Brooklyn and San Francisco. The Fox still stands today as a fiercely protected landmark and a nationally acclaimed theater with almost 4,000 seats. Follow the lead of experienced tour guides and explore the Great Stage, one of the largest indoor performance spaces in the world and the various ornate ballrooms and restrooms (yes they are historic and have furniture worth tens of thousands of dollars). The stage's hydraulic system and Moller organ are still in operation since the 20s. And as an exciting climax to the Stage Door Tour, guests will tour and have tea and cake at the historic Georgian Terrace Hotel across the street.
