Kimberly-Clark Theater is a part of Fox Cities Performing Arts Center. Fox Cities presents a wide gamut of performances- symphonic music, recitals, opera, amplified music events, touring Broadway shows, theater, dance, educational events, seminars, and films - with both regional talent and international, traveling productions. The Kimberly-Clark Theater is a flexible space that can be arranged to seat 450 patrons, and can be used for a variety of performance types. Retractable, telescopic seating risers and a portable stage platform can easily convert this multi-function room into a proscenium style-theater for local production companies. Brick curtain pockets, on the sidewalls, hide acoustical curtains, which can be deployed to change the sound environment and quiet the room. The Center opened in 2002, after an aggressive fast track design/build process that allowed only 35 months for design, construction and commissioning. This process was further challenged by the ground-borne noise and vibration caused by the sites proximity to a busy traffic intersection and freight way. Artec designed a massive concrete mat foundation under the entire facility to achieve the necessary isolation for intimate performances. Artec provided Design and Planning services covering Pre-Design Phase services, Auditorium Design, Facility Planning, Specialized Performance Equipment Systems Design and Noise & Vibration Control consulting for Fox Cities Performing Arts Center. The Architect for the facility was Zeidler Partnership Architects.
