Park Square Theater

Founded in 1974 as an 88-seat walk-up in a former Saint Paul warehouse, today, Park Square is seen as one of the area's leading cultural institutions and a key contributor to the recent revitalization of downtown Saint Paul. In its elegant, newly remodeled theatrical venue in the historic Hamm Building, surrounded by new bistros and night life, Park Square offers a uniquely inviting theatrical experience in the Twin Cities.

Interior and exterior marquee signage was designed by Visual communications to celebrate the history of the theatre and create a lasting impression into the new millennium. Tivoli lights accent the turn of the century signage while new digital photography makes show listings affordable and easy.

The interior signage is non illuminated and typical of the European influence throughout the theater.
