Stage Left Cafe

Adjacent to the lobby of 7 Stages Theater in Little Five Points,the Stage Left Coffee Shop has become a focal point for the L5P community as well as an extension of the main lobby of 7 Stages. Large openings were created through brick bearing walls to connect the spaces of the two enterprises. When the theater is functioning, translucent panels across the openings slide to extend the size of the theater lobby and provide theater patrons access to Stage Left refreshments. Bare bones canted plywood forms dynamically define the cafe space and echo those of the theater lobby.
