The Arlington Theatre is the flagship theatre of Metropolitan Theatres. Gail Kvistad, host of Living Local Santa Barbara, presents a behind-the-scenes video tour of the Great Theatre Pipe Organ of the Arlington, and interviews Metropolitan Theatres owner and President, David Corwin, Theatre manager Karen Killingsworth, SBTOS Vice President George Ferrand and SBTOS President Bruce Murdock.
Overview of Arlington Theatre from the Balcony. Main Chambers I and II are in the Spanish village on the left. Solo Chamber is in the Spanish village on the right. The percussion shelf is in back of tower at the left of the stage. The organ rises on a lift from beneath the forestage. The ceiling is semi-elliptical which is acoustically very kind to the organ. The theatre seats 2017 people. Photo courtesy of SBTOS member Tom Ginn.
