The writers theatre was built in 2016 in Glencoe Illinois. Here writers can showcase their talents in front of people. This building has also received a LEED Gold Certification. In fair weather the lobby can open to the adjacent park, allowing the energy and interaction generated within the theater to extend outward into the community beyond. The theater’s two performance spaces a 250 seat main stage and 99 seat black box space maximize the sense of intimacy between actors and audience, enhancing the immersive experience of Writers’ productions. My favorite part of the building is the second-floor canopy walk is structured by great timber trusses with a lighter wood lattice hung in tension. I also love how the lobby offers a space for theater-goers and the public alike to gather. It can host a range of events, from talks to informal performances.
