The organ chambers:
In the space above the proscenium looking into the auditorium. Access to this area is via a ladder starting at the bottom of either organ chamber. Photo: Bill Counter - 2020
Looking down into the immense house right chamber from the top. The grillework seen in the upper center of the image looks out above the proscenium. Photo: Mike Hume - 2019. He comments: "The organ chambers are much bigger than they seem, and the area above them and over the proscenium is extremely spacious."
Visit Mike's Historic Theatre Photography site for hundreds of great photos of theatres he's explored. Don't miss his page on the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

A view down into the house left chamber. Photo: Mike Hume - 2019. He comments: "If you take the walk out to above this organ chamber, as I
did, in parts it’s an 18 inch wide ledge. In the photo you can see my foot, and just beyond, a 30 foot
drop."
