The Norma Terris Theatre is best described as a flexible proscenium with little theatrical architecture to interfere with the ambitious designer. There is a respectable amount of wing space. The grid at The Norma Terris Theatre consists of steel I-beams running upstage to downstage on roughly 54" centers, butting to steel channels running left to right on roughly 10 foot centers. There are 2 x 12 wooden planks laid flat across the channels to take up the space in between the I-beams. Roll tubes and traveler tracks are used in the same manner as in the Opera House, and again, each production is custom rigged.
