The Cuillo Centre for the Arts was born out of
the renovation of a late 1940's motion picture theater in West Palm
Beach, Florida. Artec originally worked with the owner, the Burt
Reynolds Institute for Theatre Training, to develop the renovation
plans. The Cuillo Centre is now an independent organization.
The 370-seat theater venue in the heart of Downtown
West Palm Beach is able to accommodate variety of performances including
many new works, American premieres, and plays on their way to, or
from Broadway. The theater also hosts concerts, lectures/readings,
dance performances, and special events. The Centre is also available
for rentals, meetings, and modest presentations.
The Cuillo Centre contains a thrust stage theater,
dressing rooms and administration offices. The theater is equipped
with a network of catwalks to support flexibility for a variety
of lighting and rigging settings. A steeply raked floor provides
an excellent view of the thrust stage from every angle. The overall
seating configuration emphasizes excellent site lines, which contributes
to a warm and intimate atmosphere within the theater. Acoustical
controls for the room include acoustical curtains and banners, which
can be deployed to absorb some of the reverberant energy, creating
a more "dry" sound environment.
Artec provided Design and Planning services covering
Auditorium

Performance Equipment Systems Design and Noise
& Vibration Control consulting. The architect for this renovation
project was Zeidler Partnership Architects.
