Maumee High School Performing Arts Center Addition

Maumee, Ohio

The Maumee Performing Arts Center adjoins the Maumee High School and seats 792. This theater has raked seating and a stage with full fly loft and orchestra pit. The theater accommodates stage performances, dance, drama and musicals, performed by both the students in the Maumee school system and traveling professional troupes. Auxiliary spaces such as stage storage, scene shops, rehearsal rooms, male and female locker rooms and full makeup rooms are all integral to the performing arts complex. The general public is treated to a grand lobby space designed to provide a congregational setting prior to, during intermissions and at the conclusion of performances.

A visual arts display gallery located between the two main entrances into the theater engages the patrons with works created by the students. The gallery space is flexible to accommodate all types of art. A cable system for the display of various shapes and sizes of art is included. Such a system would leave the wall free from mechanical hangers, which would limit the display capabilities of the gallery. Community groups and professional organizations are welcome to use this facility for various types of meetings and venues.
