Right in the center of New York’s historic theatre district, lies Foxwoods Theatre, home of the popular Broadway production Spider-Man. Due to the massive size of the performance, the “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark” production crew called for the removal and reconstruction to the theatre’s proscenium: the frame surrounding the stage, as well as the sail vault and balconies.
Since the Foxwoods Theatre was constructed using historic elements from both the Apollo and Lyric theatres, originally built in the early 1900s, Jean-Francois Furieri, a third-generation plasterer and President of Iconoplast Designs Inc., was commissioned in 2009 for the large-scale project to to organize and supervise the careful removal of historic plaster.
