Fitzgerald Theater, Historic theater in Saint Paul, United States.
The Fitzgerald Theater is a theater building at 10 East Exchange Street in Saint Paul featuring architectural style from the early 20th century. The interior has seating for roughly 1,000 people and hosts theatrical performances, concerts, and dance presentations throughout the year.
The building opened in 1910 as the Sam S. Shubert Theater and was renamed the World Theater in 1933. Minnesota Public Radio took ownership in 1980 and later renamed it to honor author F. Scott Fitzgerald.
This venue became the home of the nationally broadcast A Prairie Home Companion radio show, which shaped how many people experienced stories and music from the region. Today, the performances staged here reflect the artistic tastes and cultural life of Saint Paul's community.
The venue sits in downtown Saint Paul and is easy to reach on foot from the city center. Visitors should check online for the current schedule and event listings to plan their visit.
The interior contains an original Wurlitzer organ, a mid-20th century instrument built specifically for theaters. This instrument adds distinctive sonic qualities to performances and is a remnant from the silent film era.
