Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts Open House

The Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts at Northwestern University welcomes audiences to celebrate the return of live performance with an “Open House: A Weekend for the Arts,” Oct. 15-17, at the Wirtz Center, 1949 Campus Drive on the Evanston campus. During a self-guided tour, audiences will get an up-close, behind-the-scenes look at the technical aspects of theatre not often seen or experienced. Highlights include rehearsals for upcoming shows, a glimpse at sets under construction, sound and light displays, and an exhibition of breathtaking sculptures by MFA design students that combine costume and scenic elements.

The Open House is free and open to the public, with timed reservations for patrons to tour any length of time during this two-hour event. Visit the Wirtz Center website to register.
