Why three different theatres?
The Building Committee agreed that it was necessary to have two main auditoriums: one an open stage – an expression of what the committee felt a modern theatre should be; the other a more traditional proscenium theatre, providing the kind of stage most commonly used over the last 300 years. A small auditorium, as well, is crucial because theatre is always changing, and many of its most important changes start on a small scale and before a limited audience.
