THEATRE ARCHITECTURE
To The Editors:
Members and readers of TD& T are sure to be puzzled by the "bat's eye" view of the Concert Theatre at Long Island
University's C. W. Post Campus published on page 31 of the Spring issue. To begin to understand the photo, turn your
copy of the Journal upside down. You will now have a human perspective of the Concert Theatre under construction,
before the seating was installed and with the orchestra shell about thirty percent rigged. For comparison, the enclosed
photo shows the completed hall with audience in place and the stage set for a piano soloist.
De pite the inversion, we are nattered that USITT chose to include the Concert Theatre in this serie. ow 111 ItS
third season of operation, the facility is extremely successful and has been widely acclaimed for its excellent acoustic
and audience comfort. We hope that TD& T readers will come and see and hear for themselves and rest assured that they
will not be seated on a sloping panel or an open steel truss.
Sincerely,
George . Lindsay, Jr., ~ssociale DireclOr
Concert Theatre, C. \Y. Post Center, Long Island
