Shirley Tyree Theater

A Space for Community Gathering and Storytelling

The black box theater design unites an existing building with a new addition and adds to the arts organization’s campus. The historic red brick building is complemented with custom-colored precast panels. This addition provides necessary volume for the theater and adjacent shop with a reinforced structure and upgraded mechanical systems for the expanded facility. Designed to meet the Union’s programmatic needs and support their mission the new facility includes a scene shop, rehearsal space, and reception area. Ensuring that all spaces stay activated, the lobby and reception area can double as rehearsal and secondary performance spaces.
