WHITE PINES COMMUNITY THEATRE CONCEPT

This 1000 seat theatre has existed within the White Pines secondary school for several decades and has always been integral within the fabric and life of the school.  However, it also  serves the community, providing venues for large theatrical and musical performances.  Therefore, we have been asked by the community users to imagine a new, standalone entrance and gathering space, that can be used exclusively for the local theatre going public, apart from the school.   

Conceptually, the design is a stage set, complete with two proscenium arches, with a floating curtain linking the two.  This provides a new welcoming face to the public theatre, setting it apart visually from the educational setting beyond.
