Description:
A Landmark Area Performing Arts Center The Citizens of Lone Tree authorized the construction of a new Lone Tree Arts Center in 2008. The new Lone Tree Arts Center (LTAC) is a professional, innovative and environmentally “green” venue designed by Westlake Reed Leskosky, a leading national designer of performing arts centers. Included in the Arts Center are a grand entry hall event and gallery space; a 500 seat main stage theater with orchestra and balcony seating, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, an orchestra pit, fly space and expertly designed acoustics; and an adaptable 150-225 seat event hall for intimate performances, events and meetings that opens through a glass wall to a 300-350 seat outdoor terrace theater. The Arts Center is being built on a multi-million dollar parcel of land donated by the developers of the RidgeGate community south of Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree. LTAC Executive Director Lisa Rigsby Peterson is developing a dynamic model for the performing arts by collaborating with some of the Front Range’s premier performing arts companies to present their productions in Lone Tree. The Arts Center will also be a leading presenter of smaller national and regional touring artists and productions; a new provider of arts education programs for children; and an important new meeting and event rental site for corporate, civic and private groups, and community arts groups including the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra. Environmentally responsible LEED certification is anticipated for the Arts Center. Performance venues in the building have windows allowing natural light for performances that do not require complete “black out” conditions and for daytime maintenance and tours, reducing the overall lighting energy load on the building. Acoustics in the main stage theater are assisted by a silent air-handling system that circulates air through the theater from diffusers under the seats. Efficient lighting, heating, cooling and water use systems are also part of the building’s design.
