Wyly Theatre
By Sarah | January 29, 2010
Last night R and I attended the Wyly Theatre to see “Give it Up.” Our dear friend from New York is in town to stage direct the show. The musical was great, but I fell head over heels in love with the theatre itself. The space is located in the Dallas Arts District right across from the new Winspear Opera House (which is also on my list of buildings I’m dying to see inside). Check out these images from REX, the architecture firm that designed the space.
The theatre towers as a rectangular cube and you can see the elevators operating from the outside. The ramp entering the theatre reminded me of a mini version of walking into the Tate Modern. And the beautiful interior concrete reminded me of the The Modern in Ft. Worth. And I know its silly, but I loved the bathrooms….lime green gloss hallways that were painted floor, walls, and ceiling, led into a clean sterile white tiled bathroom…loved it. Even the theatre chairs are lime green. The whole space is just impressive, you have to experience it.
Treat yourself a night to with the Dallas Theatre Center at the Wyly….just another reason to love Dallas.
