A casual cabaret
style of seating - Rather than use traditional theater
seating, venues may feature individual chairs and small
tables where patrons may enjoy a light meal and drinks
before or after the performance. |
|
Light
dining and drinks – To help keep people downtown after
work and create a casual and social atmosphere, a menu of appetizers, sandwiches and drinks
may be offered. |
|
An
outdoor courtyard – The courtyard will open several
hours before performances and give patrons a place to unwind
after work and socialize. The courtyard will feature a
small stage for free performances by local artists. |
|
An
intimate cabaret space – This theater will be designed
for smaller performances such as musicians, comedians,
poetry readings, and improv groups. The stage area will be
small and can be easily changed to suit the performance. |
|
A
mainstage space – Still having casual seating, this
theater will be larger than the cabaret space, and will
primarily be used for plays, dance presentations and large
musical acts. There will be a large (but still flexible)
stage with a significant backstage area for storage of
scenery. |
|
Cutting edge technology – While having the newest
technology can be expensive, it allows the venue to create
eye-popping productions while cutting down on the operating
costs by offering flexibility. |
