The Allen Theatre is one of 8 performance venues in this, the largest performing arts center in the US outside of New York City. The renovation involved transforming this large theatre into 3 smaller spaces.  The historical significance and ornate architecture was preserved to create a multilayered contrast of styles and materials while solving a number of technical issues of sight lines and acoustics. Meticulously detailed faceted perforated steel walls act as a visual scrim with the acrylic backing providing sound reflection.
