Taproot Theatre expansion design will be reviewed by city on May 14

Taproot Theatre’s expansion is on the agenda for the city’s Design Review Board on May 14. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. at Ballard High School, 1418 NW 65th St., in the library.
Taproot is expanding to the east, to 208 N. 85th St., to the parcel of land formerly occupied by four restaurants that were destroyed in a 2009 arson. Taproot proposes a two-story, 12,200-square foot space that would include a second theater, scene shop, office space and a café.

Rendering by the Miller Hull Partnership.
At the meeting, Taproot will present updated designs after presenting an initial concept to the Early Design Guidance Board on Dec. 13, 2010.
The public is invited to comment.
