An 800-seat theatre occupying the first five and one-half floors of an 11-story office tower. A three-level glass façade curtain wall is distinguished by a projected bay window, connecting the activity within to the surrounding urban street life. The new facility, along with The Shakespeare Theatre's existing home-the Lansburgh Theatre-will constitute the Harman Center for the Arts. The new theatre, designed to address The Shakespeare Theatre's expanded programming mission, will allow for a wide variety of staging configurations-proscenium, thrust, semi-arena or bare-as well as for the presentation of dance and music events. Acoustically, the space has been rendered for the spoken word, and also can be easily adapted for chamber music as well as live, amplified or recorded music.
