With a goal of completing renovations and expansion of Payne Park Auditorium by summer 2025, The Stage at Payne Park LLC has selected an architecture firm to lead the design of the new home for The Players Centre for Performing Arts.
The Stage at Payne Park, a wholly owned subsidiary nonprofit organization of The Players Inc., has chosen Fleischman Garcia Maslowski (FG+M) Architecture of Sarasota and Tampa. It has also contracted with Stages Consultants of Highland Park, New Jersey, to serve as the project’s theater, AV and acoustics consultant.
“FG+M was selected because they were local with offices in Tampa and Sarasota, have extensive experience in this area, were very cost competitive and were willing to assist in promoting the project as we gear up to launch a capital campaign in September,” The Stage CEO Brian McCarthy says in a news release. “We are excited to work with this dynamic group to bring our joint visions to life.”
