Begun in 1979, TFANA produces Shakespeare alongside a wide range of other major authors. Jeffrey Horowitz, Founding Artistic Director, wanted space that would be both intimate and epic, without one fixed perspective so that artists could change the configuration of the stage and audience depending upon the needs of play and production. The Cottesloe at London's Royal National Theatre inspired Horowitz. A team of architects Hugh Hardy and Geoff Lynch (H3 Collaboration Architecture), theatre consultants Jean-Guy Lecat and Richard Pilbrow, acoustician Russell Todd, and graphic artist Milton Glaser collaborated with Horowitz on designing the 299-seat Scripps Main Stage and 50-seat Rogers Studio. Over the next year, TFANA will host a series of free public discussions focusing on each member of the team's exploration of how theatrical design can support art. PART TWO: HUGH HARDY Our Creating a Theatre for a New Audience: The Intersection of Architecture, Design, and Theatre series continues with world-renowned architect Hugh Hardy, founding partner of H3 Collaboration Architecture whose celebrated projects include the renovation of Radio City Music Hall, Brooklyn Academy of Music's Harvey Theater and Peter J. Sharpe Façade and Canopy, Dance Theater of Hartem, the Joyce Theater, Bridgemarket, and renovation of Bryant Park.
