    A diamond in the heart of Macon

    First visit to this locatkon was to see Carpenters Christmas. The building was awesome. Reminds me of Fox Theater in Atlanta. More renovations planned in 2018. Easy parking. Comfortable seats.

    Gorgeous old theater

    Saw the Nutcracker here. The theater is beautiful and acoustics were good. A few stairs to the balcony, so avoid that if stairs are a problem. Parking a bit difficult, but overall a great venue.

    Beautiful Theater

    The theater is absolutely beautiful! I have seen so many wonderful shows here and I am so excited that the seating is currently being redone because it was very tight. Hopefully there will now be some more leg room.

    Suggest you call the box office (478-301-5470). I know they conduct group tours. They can tell you if there is any possibility for you on that date.

    I'm not certain but I believe the answer is no. They may do group tours but not individual ones as it is a working theater and not a tourist attraction per say. Best bet is to call the box office and ask if they open it... More
