The architectural character of the building is intended to create a feeling of "theatre" and
. "occasion" . The approach. to the building foyer rises through paved platforms to promote
the feeling of expectation and the entry portico columns are deliberate references to the .
"curtain" through which one passes to reach the "stage. The foyer has small.steps at each
side so that, on entering the building and steppingon to this "stage".; the. theatre-goer
becomes a participant in the community theatre.
. .The foyer. becomes a transparent object at night and shows people gathering in the foyer to
present a dramatic image to the street and evoke expectation and excitement.. The
advertising "billboard" is mounted on the corner of the auditorium wall as a dynamic
element in the building form to display forthcoming productions.
