Cayuga Museum Seeks Objects From Auburn’s Theater History

February 14, 2014 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

largeThe Cayuga Museum is working on a new exhibit to open next month. From Gilded Stage to Silver Screen, A History of Auburn’s Theaters will tell the stories of the operas, playhouses, community theaters, parlor shows and movie palaces that once graced the city.

Museum staff are seeking the public’s help in gathering photographs, costumes, playbills, and anything else that can help tell these stories. If you have any of these objects, or you were involved in local theater and would like to share your story, please call Kirsten or Eileen at the Museum, 315 253-8051. All loaned objects are logged in, covered by the Museum’s insurance, and returned at the end of the exhibit.

The Cayuga Museum, at 203 Genesee Street in Auburn, NY, is open Tuesday through Sunday, Noon-5:00 pm.
