Designed by Studio Gang Architects and built by W.E. O\u2019Neil Construction, the building is now open to the public. The company\u2019s first production in its new home, Tom Stoppard\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.writerstheatre.org\/arcadia\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cArcadia,\u201d<\/a> will open March 16.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe opening of the new Writers Theatre represents the culmination of more than eight years of tireless dedication, perseverance and the incredible contributions of so many,\u201d said the theater\u2019s executive director, Kathryn M. Lipuma, in a press release announcing the opening.<\/p>\n<p>In 1992 the Writers Theatre began operations in the back of a downtown Glencoe bookstore producing plays in a space that held only 50 seats. In 2003 the theater company moved to its second home, a 108-seat theater in the Women\u2019s Library Club of Glencoe building. The new building that opened Friday holds a total of more than 300 seats in two theaters, along with rehearsal rooms and public amenities.<\/p>\n<p>Located on the site of the Library Club&#8217;s demolished building, Writers Theatre now has its first purpose-built home. The new center is open on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and visitors are welcome to enjoy its public spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudio Gang has created a home for us that not only expands our creative possibilities but actually blows them wide open,\u201d said Michael Halberstam, Writers Theatre\u2019s artistic director and co-founder in the opening announcement.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"http:\/\/studiogang.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Studio Gang Architects<\/a> project was led by Jeanne Gang herself, who is also a MacArthur Fellow. Her awarding-winning work in Chicago ranges from the Lincoln Park Zoo\u2019s Nature Boardwalk to the <a href=\"http:\/\/studiogang.com\/project\/aqua-tower\" target=\"_blank\">Aqua Tower<\/a> downtown.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30521\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30521\" src=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/Writers-Theatre-01.jpg\" alt=\"Writers-Theatre-01\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/Writers-Theatre-01.jpg 600w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/Writers-Theatre-01-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The center&#8217;s first production will be premiered in Alexandra C. and John D.

(Steve Hall\/HEDRICH BLESSING)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The new Writers Theatre contains two performance venues, a 250-seat main stage and a 99-seat flexible, black box venue. A second-floor gallery walk provides views of the lake, while at night the lighted building becomes downtown Glencoe\u2019s cultural anchor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough open, transparent public spaces, the new center creates settings for the kind of daily collaboration that is fundamentally exhibited in the missions of both Writers Theatre and Studio Gang,\u201d Gang said. \u201cThe building exhibits this collective of values through form and craft, itself becoming a lantern for the community and transforming the future of Writers Theatre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the theater\u2019s former home, bricks from the old library club building are patterned on the back-of-house acoustic screen. Overall, the space aims to create an intimate feel similar to the company\u2019s original venues. A rooftop pavilion and green roof offer additional event space as well.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 350 individuals have contributed a total of more than $33 million toward the theater\u2019s $34 million fundraising goal. The money will help cover theater center design, construction, transition costs, programming, and also establish a cash reserve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Writers has long been recognized for its world-class art and artists, an amazing group of supporters with a shared belief in the mission has come together to support these artists and that artistic vision,\u201d said Christopher S. Pfaff, president of Writer Theatre\u2019s board of directors.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30522\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30522\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30522\" src=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/Writers-Theatre-02.jpg\" alt=\"At night, the theater's new building illuminates downtown Glencoe.
