Powerhouse Theater, Theater in Poughkeepsie, United States
The Powerhouse Theater occupies a transformed power station building on the Vassar College campus, featuring a black box performance space and flexible seating arrangements.
Built as a power station in 1912 by architectural firm Lord & Co, the structure was converted into a theater in 1973 through renovations by Chicago architect Robertson Ward Jr.
The summer program brings together 200 professional artists who develop 20-25 new theatrical works, including productions that later reached Broadway such as Hamilton and Hadestown.
Visitors can purchase tickets through the theater website for performances during the academic year and the eight-week summer season of workshops and readings.
The building maintained its industrial exterior while the interior transformation created a performance space where audiences occupy one-third of the floor area.
