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.
