MAYBANK PERFORMING ARTS THEATER
Theater Projects Consultants designed multiple flexible and functional off-Broadway spaces ready for any challenge posed by local and international producers. Each nook and cranny has a purpose, boasting ease of use for the crew, just the way theaters should be.
Casas + Architects housed these venues under a non-intimidating roof – transparent and warm – inviting pedestrians to experience art without fear. The façade tells a story of how art breaks free, shattering conventions and norms, reaching out to the audience – inspiring and enlightening.
Inside the Maybank Performing Arts Theater are the following creative spaces: Globe Auditorium, NutriAsia Del Monte Lobby, Zobel de Ayala Recital Hall, Daiichi Properties Lounge, and Dolores L. Tan Hall.
