For the first time in sixty years, the lights come up on the Royal Poinciana Playhouse.

Evoke was brought in to give the reborn Palm Beach landmark a performance lighting and audio system as flexible as its programming.

A 1958 landmark designed by architect John L. Volk, the Royal Poinciana Playhouse sat dark for years before Avie and Jill Glazer set out to restore it as Glazer Hall, a nonprofit waterfront venue on the Intracoastal Waterway. By the time Evoke was engaged, the project had been six years in the making, shaped by Theatre Consultants Collaborative and Conkling & Lewis Construction.

Contracted by Glazer Hall's executive director and owners, Evoke provided performance lighting and audio consultation for the 400-seat theater. Evoke specified the lighting, audio, and live-event control systems that bring a show to life. Working alongside TCC and Candela Controls, Evoke integrated a sophisticated performance lighting rig with the building's existing architectural lighting system, so the two operate as one: seamless control across an entire evening, from house to stage.

The result is a system as versatile as the hall itself, at home for an intimate on-stage interview or a full Grammy-winner concert. Since opening to rave reviews in January, Evoke has stayed on to support the inaugural season's marquee acts, among them Corinne Bailey Rae, The Beach Boys, and a gala evening with Sheryl Crow.
