Backstage Tours
We are excited to share the magic of the Pantages Theater with you! Built in 1918, this historic venue is one of the final remaining venues from Alexander Pantages’ once-thriving theater empire. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, an award-winning restoration in 2018 cemented its place as the jewel of downtown Tacoma. The Theater plays host to hundreds of local, national, and international acts annually and is home to the City of Tacoma’s resident arts organizations.
Explore the building, including areas not open to the public, and hear tales of people and places. Step on stage and belt out a tune. Listen for the whispers of the resident ghost. Anything can happen at the Theater.
Tour dates coming soon.
