HERSHEY THEATRE'S SPOTLIGHT TOURS

Date: 8/20/2008

Hershey Theatre has opened its doors to visitors for public tours, called Spotlight Tours. Spotlight Tours will take place each Friday morning at 11 AM. The tours will cost $7 per person, with tickets sold at the door.

The Hershey Theatre Spotlight Tour is a one-hour walking tour that departs from the main entrance of the theatre at 15 East Caracas Avenue in downtown Hershey. It travels throughout selective areas of the building, from the basement to the balcony. Its highlights include the majestic Grand Lobby, the gilded Inner Lobby, the historic four-manual Aeolian-Skinner organ (with over 4000 pipes), and a fully-restored atmospheric ceiling.

The Spotlight Tour takes patrons behind the scenes of Milton Hershey's Entertainment Showplace. Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis at the time of the tour only. This is a walking tour and includes many steps. Access to some areas on the tour is subject to change without notice. In addition, private tours are available for groups by appointment; call 717-533-6299 for more information or to make reservations.

Hershey Theatre is a non-profit theater, and is part of The M. S. Hershey Foundation. It is located at 15 E. Caracas Avenue, just off the square in downtown Hershey. For more information on this event, call the Hershey Theatre at (717) 534-3411.
