Transformation - Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre
One of four venues at the AT T Performing Arts Center, the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre is recognized as one of the most innovative and flexible theatres in the world. The 12-level building features an unprecedented "stacked" design mdash;a vertically organized facility that completely rethinks the traditional arrangement of a theatre #39;s parts. Through a mechanized system, the theatrical scenery, proscenium wall and all three seating towers can be easily moved to change the venue into either a proscenium, thrust or flat-floor theatre. The Wyly Theatre provides performance spaces for Dallas Theater Center, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, and a variety of AT T Performing Arts Center Presents programming. The Wyly Theatre was designed by REX/OMA, Joshua Prince-Ramus (partner in charge) and Rem Koolhaas, in collaboration with Houston-based firm Kendall/Heaton Associates, and received the 2011 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Honor Award.From:ATTPACViews:2 0ratingsTime:01:31More inEntertainment
