There's An Easier Way To
Plan Better Performance Spaces
Whether you are just starting your performing arts journey, or you are a seasoned pro ready for the next level, the process of building out theatre spaces can be a daunting task.
You don't have to do it alone.

Our Mission Is To
Make Professional Theatre Consulting Accessible To Anyone
Creating highly functional performance spaces is crucial to the success of any performing arts organization. It can also be complex and expensive.
There's actually an entire industry designed around helping people navigate this process. But, for many new, smaller, or under-funded organizations, the cost of professional consulting support is out of reach, or they just need help with the very first steps or to explore their early ideas instead of full services.
TheatreConsulting.com has been created to address that need.
Curated resources from our experienced team of professional consultants can help you gain clarity on what steps to take in what order, so you can move your project forward with confidence.
No matter how big or small your project is.

What it's like to get expert advice...
William Godsley
Calhoun Community College
While I have been working in theatre for decades, I did not know about the most current technology options or architectural possibilities.
I communicated to Michael what we wanted to do in and with the new facility, and felt confident that he clearly understood the performance and production objectives that we imagined. He was a good teacher too, explaining all our options with the benefits and deficiencies of each.
I learned to have complete confidence in his recommendations and knowledge.
