ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY OFFERS TOURS OF HISTORIC TEMPLE OF MUSIC AND ART

Tours begin in the courtyard of the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Avenue, and are guided by ATC docents. Tours are one-hour in length.
Docents will discuss the history of the building, its restoration and renovation, and take visitors on a backstage tour for a behind-the-scenes look at the theatre. All tours are open to the public and are free of charge, though space is limited.
Following the tour, patrons will receive a voucher good for discounted tickets to the current Arizona Theatre Company production. For tour information and reservations contact Don Gest at (520) 884-8210.
The Temple of Music and Art was dedicated on October 21, 1927. Virtuoso violinist Jascha Heifetz performed at the Grand Opening ceremony. Throughout its seven decades, the Temple passed through many hands and served various functions before finally being historically renovated and rededicated in October in 1990. At that time, through an agreement with the City of Tucson, ATC became the managing tenant of the facility.
