Background
History
Originally chartered in 1947, TIP began as The Children's Theatre of Raleigh, Inc. During the early 1970s, its name was changed to Theatre In The Park in order to reflect its expanded programming, location and new "home" in the National Guard Armory building located in Raleigh's Pullen Park. The theatre is indoor, air conditioned, and has a seating capacity of approximately 250. In 2004, the facility was renamed "The Ira David Wood III Pullen Park Theatre," to reflect the decades of work done by its executive director, Ira David Wood III.
