|
| Hennepin Theatre Trust invites the public to take a peek into the historic playhouses of the Hennepin Theatre District at 10:00 a.m. on the last Saturday of each month. |
|
| Each walking tour of the Hennepin Avenue theatres visits one playhouse, including exclusive access to the theatre interiors. It's a side of the theatre the general public seldom gets to see. You might catch some of the behind-the-scenes activity that takes place on stage between performances. |
|
| The tours are designed to give theatergoers, historians or anyone else an up-close and personal introduction to our theatres, focusing on the stars who have played in each venue and the history of the buildings. Guides spotlight architectural details of these landmark edifices, providing an insider's perspective on how a theatrical production is put together. Each tour lasts approximately one hour. |
|
| Tours are just $5 per person and meet at the State Theatre Box Office on the last Saturday of every month at 10:00 a.m. |
|
| Tour tickets may be purchased at the State Theatre box office or through the Ticketmaster Artsline at 612-673-0404 or by logging onto www.ticketmaster.com. |

| We are also happy to customize tours for groups, tailored to your specific interests. |
|
| Group tours are available of the State, Orpheum and Pantages Theatres. Groups can sign up to tour one, two or all three theatres (subject to availability of the theatre). Most tours will last about an hour. |
| Groups affiliated with a school or educational organization pay a flat rate of $35.00 (up to 20 people). |
| Rates for groups NOT affiliated with a school or educational organization vary depending on the number of people participating in the tour and requires a $20.00 non-refundable deposit, which will be applied to the final cost of the tour. Groups of 20 or fewer people will be charged $5.00 per person. For larger groups, there will be a charge of $7.50 for each person over 20 (as this requires two tour guides). |
| A 24 hour cancellation notice is required to ensure the $20.00 deposit can be applied to a new tour date. |
| All tours must have a minimum of 4 people. |
| Group tours are available between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis. |
|
|
| The State, Orpheum and Pantages Theatre Tours include the theatre lobbies, main floor and balcony seating areas, mezzanine levels and stages (if no show is set up on the stage). |
