As South Coast Repertory's 50th Season celebration continues, look at its past, get a preview of its future and take a peek behind the scenes to see how the magic of theatre happens during a special Open House.

SCR's Open House will take place on Monday, March 10, between 4-8 p.m. The afternoon and early evening event includes guided backstage tours, a special program on the Segerstrom Stage and a reception. The open house is free and open to the public. Tours, which are free, require advance registration.

Managing Director Paula Tomei will kick things off with a special welcome in the Segerstrom Stage at 7:15 p.m. Then, Orange County Register Theatre Critic Paul Hodgins will lead a lively on-stage conversation with Founding Artistic Directors David Emmes and Martin Benson and current Artistic Director Marc Masterson; it's a look back at SCR's history and look ahead to the future.

Guided backstage tours-between 4-6:15 p.m.-depart from the lobby every 15 minutes, between 4-6:15 p.m. Learn how SCR builds shows from the ground up-creating the sets, the costumes, the wigs, props and more.
