“Fryeburg Academy is far more than
bricks and mortar. In fact, we are more than a school; we are a community.
”
Dan Lee, Headmaster
By Fryeburg Academy's new 15,000 square foot Leura Hill
Eastman Performing Arts Center was completed in the fall 2008.
The theater
within the facility features 380 wide backed seats; in an acoustically designed
space surrounded with wood paneling. The stage has platforms on either side for
rigging and lights, a lighting catwalk at the roof and state of the art light
and sound systems. The back of the house has dressing rooms, a green room and a
scene shop to support the productions.
In addition to the theater, there is
a spacious lobby for social events, an art gallery, a classroom and office
space for the director of the performing arts center.
This 16 million
dollar facility is part the Academy's ongoing building program which includes
the new Field House & Fitness Center, also designed by Harriman Associates
and built by Sheridan in 2007.
