History
Originally chartered in 1947, TIP started out as The Children's Theatre of Raleigh, Inc. During the early 70s, 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 scenic
Pullen Park. The theatre is in-door, air conditioned and has a seating capacity of approximately 250. In 2004, the building was renamed as "The Ira David Wood III Pullen Park Theatre," to reflect the decades of work done by Ira David Wood III.
