#POV: You’re on stage at the Studebaker performing to a sold-out house. 👏
The first photo from 1910 is likely from famed actress Sarah Bernhardt’s two-week farewell engagement, which sold out all 1,550 seats each night. A major renovation in 1917 rebuilt most of the theater, including the side-walls, main floor, balcony, and gallery, and you can still see those details today!
