The Mary Stuart Rogers Theater is an
amazing venue that seats
up to 1,250 people-- 945 patrons at the
orchestra and parterre levels, and 305
patrons in the balcony.
The theater accommodates
classical music concerts and theater
with an audience chamber designed to
provide sufficient volume in the hall to
develop the degree of reverberation
needed for classical music (1.7-1.9
seconds at mid-frequency, occupied). An
ability to tune the room acoustics
gives a great range of control and
choice to theater directors, conductors,
and performers.
In keeping with the classical music
acoustic objectives, a traditional
shoebox shape with maximum width of 97 feet tapers in to approx. 72 feet
between the side walls,
favorable with respect to directing
early sound reflections towards the
center portions of the orchestra seating
areas.
