| Opening on Oct. 24, 2009, following a major renovation, the new 852-seat Virginia G. Piper Theater will offer the latest lighting and acoustic technology as well as dramatic improvements in sightlines, climate control, seating and audience accessibility. Most importantly, the theater's intimate character, which has long been its hallmark, has been thoughtfully enhanced. Outside the theater, the updated and renamed Dayton Fowler Grafman Atrium has likewise been transformed into a more welcoming and comfortable space that offers visitors many improved amenities, such as a new patron services box office, mezzanine and the Center Bistro managed by Arcadia Farms . Commissioned by the Scottsdale Public Art Program for the atrium, a radiant work by artist Kana Tanaka will feature more than 100 blown-glass pieces illuminated with fiber-optic lighting. |
