Author: 1) Wood, Mark Dundas; Wright, Frank Lloyd
Description: 1) Wright Play. "Wright on Stage: Monsters and Miracles. Visionary. Eccentric. Unabashedly egotistical. Frank Lloyd Wright is one of those figures who seem to invite hyperbolic labeling. Having self - dramatized during his lifetime, Wright tempts others to put his story on stage four decades after his death. That Wright's biography is tinged with violence and scandal - and that his personality was drenched in a particularly American brand of progressive center hubris - only invites playwrights to try to make him into an iconic character: a New World Oedipus..." Includes one portrait of Frank Lloyd Wright.
2) "The New Theatre. The legendary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright had distinctive ideas about how to improve theatre design, although history conspired to keep those ideas on a theological level. Aside from small theatres installed in his Taliesin compounds in Arizona and Wisconsin, the only existing theatre designed by Wright is the Kalita Humphreys, home of the Dallas Theatre Center, completed in 1959..."

Description: "The Turning Point... Most original architect of our century is the U. S. - and perhaps the world - is scholarly Frank Lloyd Wright. He remembers now, at the age of 80, how he stumbled into new forms of building in a moment of passion rather than after years of reflection. In his earliest years, Wright was as conservative an architect as anyone who ever placed a classic frieze over the doorway of a public library. But burning within him was the knowledge that some day his mind would outdistance those of his fellows... Includes one photograph of Frank Lloyd Wright pointing to a photograph on an easel. The large photograph is of a model of the "New Theatre." Hartford, Connecticut. The design for this theater was first conceived for the New Theatre for Woodstock, New York (1931 Project).

1) Barnsdall Theater Model. Caption: A model for the projected Barnsdall Theatre in Los Angeles, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a distinguished radical among modern American architects, whose work is beautifully printed in four special numbers of Wendingen, the Dutch architectural magazine, of which H. Th. Wijdeveld is editor, and which has done so much to put all the best forms of the contemporary decorative arts before the public. The exterior of the Barnsdall Theatre is notable for its honest suggestion of purpose, creative handling of masses, and the emergence of something approaching a new and characteristic mode. Originally published in Wendingen VII No. 9, 1926, p.160.
2) Barnsdall Theater Model Cutaway. Caption: A model of Frank Lloyd Wright's projected Barnsdall Theatre, with the roof and part of the walls lifted to reveal the interior. The plan shows a thorough study of the relation of audience space, stage space and backstage requirements in a theatre frankly conceived for non-realistic drama. Originally published in Wendingen VII No. 9, 1926, p.158.
3) Barnsdall Theater Illustration. Caption: Straight lines and lack of ornamentation characterize this interior of a theatre, as projected by Frank Lloyd Wright. The stage admits a plain, uncluttered formalism. Originally published in Wendingen VII No. 9, 1926, p.160.
4) Imperial Hotel Theatre. Caption: The theatre in the Imperial Hotel in Tokio, of which Frank Lloyd Wright was the architect. An unusual treatment of masses and a novel use of brick, with the sharp angles so characteristic of Mr. Wright's work. The wide apron is encircled by the curtain. Writing of the Hotel in Wendingen, Louis H. Sullivan says, "Thus what we call art and what we call science are indissoluble within a masterful imagination. Thus the architect who combines in his being the powers of vision, of imagination, of intellect, of sympathy with human need and the power to interpret them in a language vernacular and true-is he who shall create poems in stone, consonant with the finer clearing thought of our day, and the days of our expectancy."

Title: Dallas Theatre Center, Kalita Humphreys Theater, Dallas, TX, Theatre Seat 1955 (1955 -S.395).
Description: Original theatre seat for the Dallas Theatre Center's, Kalita Humphreys Theater. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1955. The Dallas Theater Center opened with registration and classes on September 9, 1959 and its first production on December 27, 1959. This is the only Theater ever executed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The design for this theater was first conceived for the New Theatre for Woodstock, New York (1931 Project). In 1938 Wright designed the Pfeiffer Chapel (S.251) at the Florida Southern College and utilized the original Woodstock floor plan. In 1949 the "New Theatre" was revived again in Hartford, Connecticut, but was never executed. The concept for the "New Theatre for Woodstock" was finally executed in Dallas as the Dallas Theater Center. The original cushioned seats and backs were upholstered in a textured, golden-colored fabric and the metal frame was painted a neutral color.
According to the Undermain Theatre in Dallas, Texas: "In 1983, the interior of the Dallas Theater Center was changed to provide a steeper "rake" - making these seats unusable for the theatre auditorium - and the Kalita Humphreys Theater then purchased new seating. Eighty of these seats were then given to the new Undermain Theatre for their use. Due to their original design (without a base), modifications were required - unfinished steel "sled" bases were added to the chairs and it is thought that they were reupholstered in an orange fabric, at that time. The original wood armrests remained on the chairs, with most retaining their original seat numbers. A few seats also retain incised or brass donation identification elements on the armrests. Of interest, is that these historic seats at Undermain Theatre in Deep Ellum - now reside in another historic building - the Interstate Forwarding Company Warehouse, constructed in 1913. The warehouse building is a City of Dallas Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The seats were restored in September 2010. The historic paint of the metal frames was touched up where necessary, the seats and backs were re-cushioned and re-upholstered with wool fabric, and the raw steel "sled" bases finished, and painted; the damaged armrests were repaired or replaced."
Unfinished steel base not designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The original base was a single vertical tube. Executed in steel, fabric, maple topped with laminate. Seat number "17," marked inscribed in arm. Acquired from Toomey & Co., Oak Park, Illinois. See other Wright Chairs and Furniture...

Chapter 10: The Wright Taliesin Theaters. Frank Lloyd Wright loved the theater. Of all its many forms his first love was the small intimate theater that was more like a living room. Both his homes in Wisconsin and in Arizona had their own theater for the presentation of films, recitals by visiting artists and the music and theatrics of the young people who worked with him.
Mr. Wright found many uses for his theaters. Saturday night was by custom movie night following dinner Which was served of course ... in the theater. Narrow ledges built into the back of the seats served as tables for the seats behind and were gaily decorated with placemats woven by the Fellowship, candles, seasonal flowers and branches.
The men in suits and the women in colorful formal gowns served the meal to the accompaniment of music either recorded or by their own ensemble. Every meal thus served in the theater was given as much attention with regard to its presentation and quality as though it were a stage work itself...

Title: The Dallas Theater Center, An Idea That Was Big Enough (Soft Cover) (Published by the Dallas Theater Center, Dallas, Texas)
Author: Cory, Joyce Burke
Description: Chapter V. The Architect. "And from the earth there rose a man, Who grew to shape the sunlight in his hands." Iovanna Lloyd Wright. It should not be necessary to review the life of a man as famous as Frank Lloyd Wright, but the factors that influence him in developing the idea and ideals which shaped his architecture are pertinent to the understanding of the work of art which was to be called the Dallas Theater Center. It is especially relevant that a clear picture of Mr. Wright's theory of "organic architecture," how it developed, and how he put it into practice, be formed at this point to facilitate the understanding of later discussions of the technical aspect of the building. Therefore, only the part of his early life that has to do with his development as an architect will be discussed... Inscribed by the author. Includes many photographs of Frank Lloyd Wright, the Dallas Theater Center, plans, drawings, construction and the completed building. (First Edition)
