Even when we were planning on visiting, we didn't realize that there was a theater within the Carnegie. The museum staff explained that the building used to have political uses; the theater was an area where elections were held. Now they have concerts and theater performed on their intimate stage.
The Carnegie website says the building was also a public library at one time. I can picture it.
Overall, the building is a great blend of modern and historical-- the same thing I love about Over-the-Rhine and many other parts of Greater Cincinnati.

yeah it's a cozy place *rubs chin* but not much room for moshing...
It's a beautiful building.
I would like to hear about you solving the "riddle" of the National Steamboat Monument. Supposedly, if you walk a certain pattern through the columns, it "performs" for you. I couldn't figure it out! (The monument is down near the Red's stadium and the Showboat Majestic.)
I'll have to try that out, Kasmira!!
