Parish Episcopal School Performing Arts Center

Dallas, Texas

Parish Episcopal School acquired a former ExxonMobil corporate office campus in North Dallas in 2002. Today, it houses nearly 1,200 K-12 students and 150 faculty. In response to the need to better accommodate award-winning theater and performing arts programs, Parish engaged BOKA Powell to envision a new building in keeping with the campus’s existing style that houses performance and rehearsal space, as well as a grand lobby that allows for additional pre-function and gathering space. To provide exceptional flexibility, the entire lower level of seating retracts, opening the floor for seated dining and other events.
