Theater Facilities
The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, one of the few buildings in Tokyo to withstand the 1923 Great KantÅ earthquake, had an intimate theater which hosted the club until the early 1960s. Most TIP plays from 1974 until 2007 were staged in the Tokyo American Club's Grand Ballroom.
Currently, Tokyo International Players uses several professional theater spaces in the Tokyo metropolitan area: Theater Sun-mall in Shinjuku, Ebisu Echo Theater, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space in Ikebukuro, and Our Space in Hatagaya. Rehearsals are typically held at Our Space and the Nishimachi International School.

Famous quotes containing the words theater and/or facilities:
“The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience. It is to serve talent.”
—Robert Brustein (b. 1927)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
