One: The Wang Theater – A Boston Landmark
On March 8, 2020, I attended a PhotoWalk Tour in the Wang Theater. I was interested in this tour because we could take photos while getting a private tour of the venue. I used my camera and phone to take pictures during the tour.
After my tour, I wanted to return to the theater for a show. Unfortunately, it took me three years to return to this venue. Finally, I returned to the venue on February 24, 2023, for a show called The Deck Investigates. Ashley Flowers is bringing her chart-topping podcast, The Deck, to you LIVE for the first time ever with The Deck Investigates tour.
The Wang Theater is a stunning venue. Read about the history in Wikipedia: Wang Theatre.
