Pursue Iconic Projects With Confidence
No two performance venue projects are the same, but they all have complex challenges.
The ideal theatre consultant you select should have experience in three key areas: designing performance spaces, building cultural facilities, and the day-to-day operations of running one. Our firm has experts in all those backgrounds to help you stay on top of every detail, so you're free to run with your creative vision, without worrying about costly missteps.
Throughout our careers, we've been inspired and informed by the owners, clients, and companies we've worked with.
Whether your project is for a high school, community college, university, small community theatre, or professional performing arts organization, it's likely we've worked on a project just like yours.
