Johnson Theatre is a proscenium theatre seating 281 on the main level and 50 in the
balcony in a continental plan (no center aisle). The proscenium opening is 37' wide
by 22' high. The stage extends 33' upstage of the plasterline with an additional
16' downstage of the plasterline when the orchestra pit is covered. The stage floor
is partially sprung with a composition board covering. Digital sound and lighting
control rooms are located at the rear of the auditorium. A Telex communication system
links the control rooms, box office, fly gallery, grid, stage manager positions stage
left and right, orchestra pit, scene and costume studios, green room, dressing and
makeup rooms. Below the stage are storage areas for furniture. In 2015 we installed
a new lighting technology featuring intelligent lighting.
