Are there flies in flyspace? Where do the actors go between their entrances and exits? Is the green room really green? These interesting answers and even more interesting secrets are revealed in this backstage tour provided by a staff member of the Shakespeare Theatre Company at the Harman Center for the Arts.  Lasting approximately one hour, the tour winds through the building from actor to audience member’s point-of-view and includes anecdotes from more than 20 years of productions and a stop at the famous Elvis shrine.  Attendees will never see the theatre quite the same way again.  The tour begins promptly at 5:00 p.m. and ends at 6:00 p.m. and has a maximum enrollment of 20 people per tour. 

Tours begin at the intersection of Sixth and F streets NW in Washington, D.C., or inside Sidney Harman Hall in cases of inclement weather.  A staff member or docent will be waiting with a list of attendees for this week’s tour.
