This article describes the author’s experience taking a “Behind the Scenes” Tour of Atlanta’s famous Fox Theater. The tour starts by heading into a room, off of the lower ladies lounge marked “hospital”. This room previously functioning as an emergency stop for hurt or sick performers. From there it progresses through a screening room, where censors used to ensure that movies met content standards, but is now used as a break room. The group passes through the pit motor room, a space full of the equipment like the hydraulics used to lower or raise parts of the stage. The tour continued through the building passing by the electrical room, the paint shop two dressing rooms, and finally down the stairs to the stage, making sure to walk passed the signatures of many of the theater’s previous performers, examples being Madonna and Whitney Houston. When they reached the stage they were all introduced to the theater’s golden pipe organ, Mighty Mo, as they admired the view.
