Check our events listings for show times: http://fitzgeraldtheater.publicradio.org/events/ Built in 1910, the Minnesota Public Radio's Fitzgerald Theater is Saint Paul's oldest surviving theater space. Originally named the Sam S. Shubert Theater, it was one of four memorial theaters erected by entertainment-industry leaders Lee and J. J. Shubert after the death of their brother Sam. In 1933, it became a movie house screening foreign films and was thus christened the World Theater. Minnesota Public Radio purchased the theater in 1980 and restored it in 1986 for the live radio program A Prairie Home Companion® with Garrison Keillor. The theater was again renamed in 1994, this time for author F. Scott Fitzgerald, a native of Saint Paul. The theater has, over the years, played host to Broadway musicals, vaudeville shows, film festivals, and concerts of all sorts. The Fitzgerald Theater is always looking for eager and able volunteers to help us as ushers for our wide variety of shows. Our volunteer ushers help the theater fulfill its mission by providing special event assistance, in-theater ambassadorship, and excellent customer service for our guests. If this sounds like a good fit for you, please send your inquiries to fitzgerald@mpr.org.
