Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre
Designed as one of Vancouvers largest black box spaces, the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre is a site for contemporary dance, theatre, concerts and other performances. The venue features a balcony on three sides with flexible seating below that can be arranged in the round or in a more conventional setup or even no seating at all. The Assembly Area is connected to the theatre by a retractable guillotine door that can also serve as a stage with a proscenium arch.
The Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre is located on the B2 level of Goldcorp Centre for the Arts (GCA).
