This circular, column-free, 2,500-seat theater has cast-in-place concrete walls with lozenge-shaped openings and a saddle-backed truss roof. The distinctive curvature of the roof reflects the shape of a cable-hung steel compression ring, bent in the middle to produce the curved roof. Low elliptical arches of the podium and upper structures recall Frank Lloyd Wright’s Marin County Civic Center (1957); Bernard Mulville, designer for Garland and Hilles, was an alumnus of Wright’s Taliesin Fellowship. Circling the theater on the podium terrace above the 1,000-car street-level parking garage is Silver Lining (2010), a fourteen-piece installation of tall, steel, light sculptures by Barbara Grygutis, inspired by the palm trees that originally surrounded the theater. The Williams Convention Center, part of the Civic Center program, was expanded and given a new curtain wall by Downtown Architects in 2002.
