#BUFeatureFriday: The Booth Theatre
The 250-seat Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre is located at the heart of the Charles River campus at 820 Commonwealth Avenue. The intent behind the Joan & Edgar Booth theatre is exact: create a 21st century learning environment to educate the next generation of artists and engage audiences in an immersive experience.
The purposeful, flexible design of the Booth Theatre allows for the evolution of performances and a deep engagement with audiences. Through the configuration of seating risers, opening of the single trap door, installation of set pieces and drapes, and use of creative lighting, the space can be transformed to create a unique performance and audience experience. The building’s massive tipped façade serves as a mirror, coupled with a proscenium-inspired wrapper, to put pedestrians and Comm Ave on stage.
Designed by internationally-recognized Elkus | Manfredi Architects. The construction for this complex was managed by the Bond Brothers.
