WorkPlay is a mixed use office building, sound stage, recording studio, performance venue, event space and bar located at 500 23rd Street South in Birmingham's Southside. The 30,000 square-foot complex was developed in 2001 by brothers Alan, Hugh, Blake and Randy Hunter. Davis Architects designed the modern-styled renovations to the former warehouse.
The center's 400-seat theater has been used for concerts, comedy shows, film screenings, television viewing parties, political debates, and numerous other events.
In October 2010 Superior Bank began foreclosure proceedings on WorkPlay's building, which is organized independently of the center's operations. In December, Hunter revealed that he was negotiating with former Tom Williams Automotive Group executives Tom Williams, Jr and Clark Williams to purchase the business.
