Northern Stage, Barrette Center for the Arts

White River Junction, Vermont, USA
Jim Westphalen

A new and permanent home for a beloved regional theatre group, this performing arts facility is carved out of a pre-engineered Butler Building.

17,000
square-foot facility

distance to stage from back row (in feet)
2 years
from initial designs to opening night

The unchangeable structure required creative planning and design to maximize space, optimize circulation, and still provide a dynamic theatrical environment with audience-performer intimacy, excellent sightlines, and comfortable surroundings. The 240-seat theatre features a panelized tension wire grid, modern AV systems, and a robust lighting system that we designed with the infrastructure for full-LED upgrades. The thrust stage pushes the performance out into the audience, creating an undiluted and dynamic experience.
