From YouTube: New Bellevue Youth Theatre Tour
Description
The new Bellevue Youth Theatre is a 12,000 square foot space built into a hillside at Crossroads Park. Here's a behind the scenes tour of this terrific addition to the city's cultural scene.
A
B
Is
not
only
a
theater,
but
it
is
a
green
gold
leads
building,
it's
very
environmentally
sound
from
the
fact
that
it's
built
into
a
hillside
with
a
green
roof
and
light
trumpets
and
all
sorts
of
fun
stuff.
So
this
is
a
lobby.
It
is
four
times
bigger
than
our
current
facility
and
has
a
lot
of
things
that
are
other
facilities
and
they
have
most,
notably
you'll,
see
a
concessions
booth.
B
This
is
for
our
foundation,
who
raised
over
a
million
dollars
for
this
project,
and
we
also
have
a
unique
box
office
that
has
both
the
ticket
window
inside
and
outside
that
allows
us
to
Keo
still
keep
the
building
lot
but
still
sell
tickets.
So
a
lot
of
good
features
that
makes
the
program
run
more
efficiently.
So
this
is
the
arena
studio,
theater
space.
It
is
one
of
the
first
circular
round
studios
built.
We
think
it
may
be
the
first.
It
is
designed
to
be
very
intimate
for
our
actors.
B
B
You
want
to
move
your
amphitheater
production
in
you
can
so
we
never
have
to
cancel
a
production,
so
this
is
the
door
to
the
backstage.
This
is
where
we
have
all
our
support
functions
for
production.
This
is
a
costume
storage.
This
is
where
all
our
costumers
do,
some
really
fabulous
work.
So
in
this
room
we
will
costume
over
a
thousand
kids
over
10
weeks
of
productions
and
eight
weeks
of
daycares.
B
B
There
are
16
of
these
individual
stalls
which
will
accommodate
up
to
three
kids,
so
there's
enough
of
these
with
the
two
private
dressing
rooms
to
give
us
a
room
for
about
55
actors,
and
there
are
12
of
the
makeup
mirrors
which
allow
us
to
bring
them
in
and
shifts
and
get
our
kids
already
for,
hair
and
makeup.
This
is
a
classroom.
It
is
a
multi-purpose
space.
We
do
everything
from
keeping
kids
backstage
into
here
to
doing
small
rehearsals
these
tables
collapse
and
move
away.
It's
also
a
place
for
our
staff
meetings.
B
The
TV
are
part
of
a
monitoring
system.
There
are
12
cameras
in
the
building
which
allows
us
to
see
all
of
what's
going
on.
In
addition
to
every
one
of
these
rooms,
they
have
a
clear
calm,
so
communication
with
a
booth
and
the
office
is
always
there,
so
we
never
are
in
the
dark
about
what's
going
on
in
the
building.
B
Upstairs
here
is
our
first
lighting
booth
we're
running
a
state-of-the-art
etc'
element
board,
which
controls
over
a
hundred
and
twenty
instruments,
everything
from
color,
scrollers,
24,
nails
to
source
fours,
we're
able
to
run
a
projector
and
our
screens
and
we're
able
to
control
all
the
lighting
into
the
theater
space
from
house
lighting
to
the
green
room.
It
is
really
a
remarkable
space,
so
completely
surrounding
the
upper
level.
Here
is
a
catwalk.
This
catwalk
is
more
than
just
a
place
to
access
lights
and
do
technical
things.
B
A
Well,
that's
the
end
of
our
tour
here
at
the
beautiful
new
Bellevue
Youth
Theater.
The
grand
opening
celebration
is
on
Saturday
March
14th,
and
we
hope
you
can
come
out
here
and
join
us
and
see
this
beautiful
space
for
yourself
and
James.
If
people
want
tickets

future
shows
or

information

should
they
call,
