Considering its impressive size, the Ahmanson Theater is also remarkably intimate; as in the trail-blazing Chandler Pavilion, Architect Becket has replaced the traditional shoe-box-shaped auditorium with an almost perfect square. The proscenium is as wide and as high as the walls and ceilings, the stage semithrust...
