Stoney Creek Performing Arts Theater

This theatre houses a full range of multi-purpose events, including plays and musicals, orchestra and band performances, assemblies and touring presentations.

The 650-seat theatres are designed for audience intimacy, allowing smaller audiences to feel as comfortable as full houses.

The stages have fully working fly-lofts with complete stage equipment systems, including counterweight rigging systems, full stage lighting systems and orchestra pit lifts. Backstage facilities include dressing rooms, green room, scene shop and small studio theatre spaces.

This example project indicates the ability of our design staff in working with an owner and developing a program to meet their needs. Specifically a series of Performing Art Theaters, this client had 3 very distinct requests for solutions; they required its three theatres to have great equity in their designs. One was all new construction, one was a theatre addition and one was a theatre renovation. Each theatre houses a full range of high school multi-purpose events, including plays and musicals, orchestra and band performances, assemblies and touring presentations.

The University of Toledo Performing Arts Theater renovation and expansion as we understand will be smaller in scale, but still need to meet all the requirements of a full theater. Our responsiveness to the clients in this example and the other two show our variety of expertise.
