Future Forward at PAC NYC and Aviva Studios

AMERICAN THEATRE: In 2023, two of the most complex and anticipated new theatre buildings in the world opened their doors to audiences for the first time. The Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) in Manhattan, designed by the architecture firm REX, and Aviva Studios in Manchester, U.K., designed by the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), both enable radical flexibility, allowing artists and directors to configure the shape of the audience seating to suit their specific production needs.
