Visiting the Apollo Theater
Historic Tours
Historic Tours are educational, informative, entertaining and inspiring. Tours reveal the significant contributions of the Apollo Theater to the birth of global popular culture and also tell the dramatic story of the legendary artists and events that have made the Apollo an American icon. Historic Tours are family friendly and can be tailored for K-12 school groups. A companion Study Guide, published by the Education Program, is also available for use as a classroom, pre or post-tour resource.
Extended Tour Workshops
Schools can enhance a visit to the Apollo Theater with an Extended Tour Workshop. Led by Apollo instructors, Extended Tour Workshops engage students in hands-on activities that build on their experience and knowledge of the Apollo Theater, the Harlem community and the national and global progressions in the arts and culture on which the Apollo has had significant impact. Apollo Education staff can visit your school prior to or following your scheduled tour to engage students in a hands-on learning experience relative to the Theater’s history.
If you are interested in enhancing your school group’s tour experience please contact us upon scheduling your tour to discuss workshop offerings that will best suit your group.
