Ford Center

The Stage

Photographer: Adam Stoltman
With Broadway productions getting larger and demanding more space, a goal was set to make the Ford Center's stage at least 55 feet deep and 97 feet wide -- greater in area than those of the Lyric and Apollo combined. The stage house itself reaches 100 feet, as tall as a 10-story apartment building.

Salvaged from the Apollo Theater was its ornamental arch that framed the proscenium. Because it was too small for the new stage opening, the arch had to be widened eight feet across and lengthened five feet at the sides.
