点评:…but you’ll find the best performances at the TB Sheldon. Set your phones to silent, grab some popcorn, and peek with me behind the red velvet curtains of this historic theater.
Affectionately known by locals as “The Jewel Box” of Red Wing, the Sheldon’s impressively ornate interior would upstage that of many other theaters. The lobby makes a dramatic entrance, and the auditorium steals the show with gorgeous murals, and gold and ivory plaster sculptures adorning the walls.
The Sheldon’s history is as dramatic as its decor, the building having survived two fires and an explosion that blew off the roof. Opening its doors in 1904, it hosted Vaudeville shows travelling through from Chicago to Minneapolis in its early years, and later converted to a movie house. Now it showcases live performances and lectures, as well as playing classic movies like Gone with the Wind.
I fondly remember performing here in my teens, electricity in the air as we waited for our cue, hoping not to break a leg en pointe. Most recently I watched the amazing musical Glensheen here, and it brought down the house! A Sheldon experience is always magical for the audience and the performers alike.
This theater is a destination unto itself, and is certainly a tough act to follow. I give it 5 rounds of applause!
翻译:......但您会在 TB Sheldon 找到最好的表演。把你的手机调成静音,拿些爆米花,和我一起看看这座历史悠久的剧院的红色天鹅绒窗帘后面。
Sheldon 被当地人亲切地称为红翼剧院的“珠宝盒”,其华丽的内部装潢比其他许多剧院都抢先一步。大堂入口引人注目,礼堂以华丽的壁画和装饰墙壁的金色和象牙石膏雕塑抢尽风头。
谢尔顿酒店的历史与其装饰一样引人注目,这座建筑在两次火灾和一次屋顶爆炸中幸存下来。它于 1904 年开业,早年举办了从芝加哥到明尼阿波利斯的杂耍表演,后来改建为电影院。现在它展示现场表演和讲座,以及播放《乱世佳人》等经典电影。
我深情地记得我十几岁时在这里表演,当我们等待我们的提示时,空气中充满了电流,希望不要在足尖处摔断腿。最近我在这里观看了令人惊叹的音乐剧 Glensheen,它让整个房子都倒塌了!对观众和表演者来说,谢尔顿的经历总是神奇的。
这个剧院本身就是一个目的地,当然是一个很难遵循的行为。我给它5个掌声!
