This project is intended to map the structure of historic theatres, their
spaces and machinery in a three dimensional digital program that will
facilitate interactive learning and exploration of the theatre world. Users
should be able to virtually walk through the models, seeing the colors and
details of the theatres and their spaces. In other words, users should have
a visual sense of being in the actual theatre. In addition, persons should
be able to use the finished program to create different sets in a variety of
different spaces, walk through these sets, and view them from anywhere in
the audience.
The theatres that will be focused
on during this summer are mainly in the Virginia, Maryland and Washington
D.C. areas. A few from other surrounding states will be included but to a
much lesser extent. Though this project focuses on theatres with a historic
quality, all types of theatres are included in our list of links.
Stepping through the project
-
Compile a list of theatres and

Contact specific theatres in
order to obtain documents and drawings of the structures, and permission
to view, photograph and measure the buildings
-
Visit specific theatres -
obtain documents, drawings, photographs and measurements of structures
