Guthrie Theater

The 275,000-square-foot building housing the Guthrie Theater contains three performance spaces: a 1,100-seat thrust theater, a 700-seat proscenium theater, and a 250-seat studio and experimental theater. The lighting respects architect Jean Nouvel’s mysterious space, comprised of many layers of darkness and depth. There is a progression of darkness from the relatively bright lobby to the darker proscenium to the dark theater.
