Daily News | Penn announces new Stuart Weitzman Theater for Penn Live Arts at the Annenberg
A glistening modern jewel is envisioned as a new hub for theater, music, and dance in the heart of Penn’s campus for West Philadelphia — and all of Philadelphia.On Monday, the University of Pennsylvania announced it will build a new 3,100 square-foot theater to adjoin the Annenberg Center, a glitzy venue with a glimmering glass facade, towering ceilings and walls that open up onto Annenberg Center plaza for both indoor and outdoor shows.
“This is really one of the biggest moments for Penn Performing Arts in the last 50 years,” Gruits said Monday, after Penn issued a news release on the new theater, which will be named for Stuart Weitzman, the 1963 Wharton graduate who founded the iconic shoe company and fashion brand, and who made an undisclosed gift for the theater.
Besides the new theater space — which Gruits said he hopes will be completed by fall 2025 — the initial phase of the capital plan calls for the Annenberg’s Montgomery Theater to be renovated into a state-of-the art film center, as well for an expanded campus plaza and entranceway. Later phases will focus on a new atrium and entranceway for Walnut Street.
