註釋To be successful, a theater must create an aura of anticipation before performance begins. As audiences come to the building, their spirits must rise, curiosity must be piqued, and the delight of a shared experience must become evident. When properly realized, architecture can enhance all the activities its buildings contain but it can also go beyond that, to transmit that excitement to the surrounding community. Since its founding in 1967, HHPA has enjoyed a long history of planning and design for a wide range of academic, civic, and private performance facilities. We have developed an appreciation for an architecture that celebrates the differences among performance venues, whether for film, theater, music, opera, or dance. Our theater projects have served as catalysts for the rejuvenation of urban places, created tourist destinations in rural areas, contributed to the synergy of emerging cultural districts, nurtured the artistic maturity of students, drawn the public to university campuses, and enhanced fledgling arts organizations. Those who work in theater are as vital to the creation of a successful place as architects are. In their essays, nineteen eminent guest contributors, including producers, directors, playwrights, choreographers, educators, performers, scenic and lighting designers, acousticians, and writers, share their insights about the contribution architecture can make to the theater-going experience.
