Petersburg resident Mikey Fuller experiences a dream come true while bringing awareness to the LGBTQ+ community.
Have you ever had the pleasure of watching the Mighty Wurlitzer organ rise out of the orchestra pit at Virginia s grand motion picture palace The Byrd Theatre?
It s a magical moment and sight to behold in Richmond s Carytown district.
The Mighty Wurlitzer is one of about 40 surviving instruments in their original installation out of more than 2000 made by the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company between 1914 and 1942.
Fuller is one of less than 20 organists that has performed a live Mighty Wurlitzer show.
The theatre pipe organ, designed as a “one-man orchestra” to accompany silent movies, was installed when The Byrd was built in 1928.
