auditorium

For her book launch earlier this week, hundreds packed into the cavernous women's college auditorium in Kochi - fittingly called the Mother Mary Hall - with an overflow crowd watching on a live stream outside.

A few gorgeous floral stencils, small sculptures and a stained glass window remain from Lloyd’s work in the auditorium of the former South Pasadena elementary school, which closed to students in 1979.

Strange, considering there’s a line out the auditorium door for the 15th anniversary screening of “Black Swan,” right next door.

The auditorium design is modern but understated, with its angled panels and pops of color providing lively accents while still focusing attention on performances.

“We could put it on every screen in our auditorium.”
