Conveniently located across
from the Fisher Center, the Spiegeltent
(“Mirror Tent”) is a glittering mirrored
pavilion where performances take place
surrounded by tables and booths.
Audiences take in the show as they enjoy
meals and drinks. Later in the evening,
the tables are pushed back and the
stage becomes a dance floor where
SummerScape audiences and performers
dine and dance under the disco ball.
