| Strang
is designing a new indoor theater and support building
for American Player’s Theatre at their wooded
campus in Spring Green, Wis. The 11,000 square foot
theater building will house a 200-seat theater, a lobby,
concessions, will call, dressing rooms and a green room.
The 14,000
square foot Production Support Building will house a
paint shop, scene shop, offices, rehearsal hall and
storage. Strang's in-house Mechanical, Electrical and
Plumbing experts will ensure integration of the fume
exhaust system in the paint and maintenance shops.
The theater
will have an informal, rustic and comfortable design.
The goal is to transport visitors to a theatre in the
woods. The lobby and patio will be designed to provide
for a seamless transition between the landscape and
the interior. This includes a high degree of transparency,
outdoor covered loggias and evokes a “theater
in the woods” theme. In addition, the lobby and
patio will accommodate food service and seating requirements
for special events. |
