Palo Alto's plans for community center may include permanent home for TheatreWorks
"The proposed Cubberley arts project involves refurbishments to the center's existing theater space. Renovations would include adding restrooms, expanding the lobby, upgrading accessibility and revitalizing its technical capabilities. The proposed project would also create a new professional-size theater for TheatreWorks to present its mainstage productions, as well as space for the company's arts education, community engagement and new works programs."
"While the project is contingent on the city's acquiring 7 acres from the Palo Alto Unified School District , to be combined with the 8 acres of land on the site that the city already owns, TheatreWorks is exploring a partnership to share renovation costs with the city. TheatreWorks plans to initiate a fundraising effort to contribute to the project's capital development costs."
Palo Alto plans upgrades to the Cubberley Community Center that could provide a permanent home for TheatreWorks Silicon Valley and expanded arts spaces for local groups. Renovations to the existing theater would add restrooms, expand the lobby, improve accessibility and revitalize technical capabilities. A second professional-size theater would house TheatreWorks' mainstage productions and accommodate arts education, community engagement and new works programs. The city also seeks development of a recreation and wellness center on another portion of the Cubberley campus. The project depends on acquiring 7 acres from the Palo Alto Unified School District and TheatreWorks plans fundraising and a potential cost-sharing partnership with the city.
