Steve and Bozena designed and built the 150-seat Magicoplis theater in the Los Angeles seaside community known as Santa Monica. During the design process the two opinionated collaborators weren’t always in complete agreement, at one point it seemed as though the restrooms might be constructed in the middle of the stage!
Today what stands at 1418 Fourth street in Santa Monica is a space that’s ideal for viewing a magic show with an extremely raked auditorium allowing perfect head-to-toe visibility of the performers, great acoustics and lighting, all constructed of re-cycled elements from other buildings that were being torn down or renovated.
