Whilst the three theatres within the Lyric Theatre Complex draw their own distinct identities from the types of performing arts to which they cater, their designs follow a unified approach essential to both creating a complementary family of theatres and a coherent building.

Broadway Rose is a musical theatre company in Tigard, Oregon. Scott Edwards Architecture partnered with the non-profit to renovate their space to meet their specific and growing needs. The design added two new wings to the existing building, the west for a set-building and a costuming shop, and the east for their administrative operations and a black box studio. The exterior of the additions are clad to be reminiscent of a lifting stage curtain. #communityarchitecture #theatredesign
