"On Building a Theatre" by Irving Pichel is a technical guide focused on stage construction and equipment for small theatres, schools, and community buildings, written during the early 20th century. This work delves into the architectural considerations and practical requirements necessary for creating effective performance spaces, aiming to help architects and designers avoid common pitfalls. The book likely discusses various aspects of theatre design, including the importance of integration between the stage and auditorium, acoustics, and lighting. The opening of the book introduces the concept of theatre architecture, highlighting the often-ignored issues of poor design and tradition that hinder optimal performance spaces. Pichel argues that many existing theatres, particularly in educational contexts, replicate outdated designs without considering modern needs, resulting in practical deficiencies. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed examination of how to build theatres that not only serve aesthetic purposes but also facilitate the artistic processes of drama, ensuring that spaces are functional and supportive of new community-driven theatrical movements following World War I.
