The Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium is a nonprofit serving the community access to fine arts education. The theatre and it’s incredibly architectural structure means that even patrons 115 feet away from the stage in the balcony can hear everything without amplification.
Wright worked with the then ASU president, Grady Gammage, to create a space that would not only welcome visitors and students to the campus, but would also serve as a major facility for nationally touring Broadway productions like Hamilton, the Phantom of the Opera and Wicked. Originally the plans for the building were to be used to build an opera house in Baghdad, but those plans fell through.
This multipurpose performing arts center opened in 1964 for $2.46 million. Considered to be one of the last public commissions by Frank Lloyd Wright, the ASU Gammage is located on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, Arizona.
