Henry Miller’s Theatre
Henry Miller’s Theatre, now named the Stephen Sondheim Theater, has a long and storied history dating back over 100 years. We were tasked with designing an exhibit to ensure that the legacy of the theatre lives on.
The exhibit, located in a pedestrian thru block between 42nd and 43rd streets in midtown Manhattan, is inspired by the flowing forms and layered depth of theatre curtains, providing a counterpoint to the surrounding orthogonal grid of the architecture. Bold large-scale imagery and Playbill duotone images allow for an immediate impression when walking while the timeline provides detailed information for those that choose to stop and read. The scale is grand; commensurate with the Times Square environment in which it is situated.
