Our job as theatre planners and designers goes way beyond getting you drawings and specs. It's also our job to help you understand this weird world of theatre and why artists/operators need what they need. #education #collaborate #helpeachother #theatredesign #theatre
Is your idea of a good time checking out conduit runs and understanding how a theatrical rigging system works? We call that around here just another day that ends in “Y”. 🏗 🎭 We realize some of our contractor partners have never worked on a theatre before or even been backstage of one. For this reason, we invite them for venue tours in theatres we’ve recently opened. The tours allow us to discuss important concepts and details when planning, designing, and constructing performing arts spaces. 👷♀️ 👷♂️ Our principals, Michael Ferguson and Stephen Lars Klein, recently toured Douglas Design Build through the Cerritos College Performing Arts Center. They explored the venue top-to-bottom from the fly tower grid to the catwalks to the stage and auditorium, surveying all the specialty theatrical equipment and design needs to make a theatre function. The new 84,000 sf facility designed by Perkins Eastman | Pfeiffer provides the music and theater departments with spaces for instruction and performance and facilitates collaboration between the college and the surrounding community. The performing arts center features a 400-seat theater, 150-seat black box theater, 100-seat lecture hall, outdoor amphitheater, and a multi-level lobby.
