Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre
The Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre will be a theatre in the new AT&T Performing Arts Center, located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, Texas (USA). It is one of four venues that will comprise the AT&T Performing Arts Center which is scheduled to be dedicated October 12, 2009. The 80,300-square-footbuilding is twelve stories and will hold about 600 people, depending upon the stage configuration. On opening it will become the new venue for the Dallas Theater Center, Dallas Black Dance Theatre and Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico.
The Wyly Theatre was designed by REX/OMA, Joshua Prince-Ramus (partner in charge) and Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas. It features a groundbreaking design with an unprecedented "stacked," vertically organized facility that completely rethinks the traditional form of theatre. It is named for Dee and Charles Wyly, who donated $20 million to the Center.
