Albert Pike, Past Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction is accredited with writing our ritual back in the mid 1800’s. Although his vision was to have each of the 29 Degrees (4° - 32°) be performed in a lodge room, it was later suggested that they could be put on as a play on stage. The first such production was done in 1897 in central Iowa. Thomas Moses was commissioned by several Valleys to paint scenery in the first part of the 1900’s. He traveled the country painting scenery and actually painted the our original scenery here in Omaha in the mid 1920’s. That scenery hung in our Historic Theater until 1996.
