Geary's New Signature Theater Down the Road from Us

Last night Eddie and I saw "Angels in America - Millennium Approaches" at the "Signature Theater.
.
The Signature Theater is a small (very small) little theater near us on 42nd - past 10th.
.
If you have visited us within a year - you have seen a new building going up about a block away. This is the new "Related" building - by the same group that did the Time Warner Building.
.
Inside the new building they are also building a new 3 stage home for the Signature Theater Group. It was designed by Frank Geary.
Now if you look at the chunky space you see the signature of Frank Geary - who knows sound design beautifully - but loves his weird ass shapes.
.
The picture above and below are the space in current building process, versus plan.

Look in to the stage from the balcony.


It is so very Geary. Isn't it. It should be a really cool space.
.
The pictures above this have all been of the Main stage. But the picture immediately above is the smaller "End" Stage (seats 299). It will be cool.
