BOSTON HARBOR LIGHTS
PAVILION
Located on Boston's Fan Pier, adjacent to Rowes Wharf, this seasonal amphitheater for 4,500 seats is designed for easy assembly in the spring and dismantling in the fall. The high profile of the roof allows spectators to take in panoramic views of the Boston skyline and provides the height needed for sound and lighting equipment behind the stage.
The circular footprint of the amphitheater, which covers an acre of land, would make it conducive to any arena-like activity, such as boxing, tennis, and circus performances, although only music is planned for this particular pavilion, which can be broken down and moved if desired. This kind of flexibility is the future of venue design, as owners and operators increasingly need to be able to relocate and reconfigure their theaters to take advantage of every booking opportunity in a very competitive market.
