JOHN HAND THEATER (FIREHOUSE THEATER)
The John Hand Theater is located inside the historic Lowry Air Force Base Fire Station. The main stage and backstage areas reside where fire trucks once stood at the ready. The Lowry Air Force Base served as a training base during World War II and during the Cold War - and was the initial site of the U.S Air Force Academy (1955-1958).
