Best of 2000: Best Tour Even The Tourists Don't Know About

Old Globe Theatre Backstage Tour
(619) 231-1941

You can see the offices, the costume shop, the lighting booth, and the elaborate rigging that keeps the curtains open and the sets upright. The tours are led by volunteer docents who know backstage anecdotes and celebrity gossip and can answer technical questions. Tours are held every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. (or by appointment for large groups), and the cost is $3 for adults and $1 for seniors, students, and military.
