City LIghts Theater Company

Working with Michael and TheatreConsultant.com has been one of the most meaningful partnerships of my career. As City Lights Theater Company embarked on the journey to find a new home, Michael was an incredible coach, mentor, and guide.

His deep knowledge of theater spaces, combined with his ability to truly listen and understand our dreams and challenges, has been invaluable. Michael doesn't just offer advice — he invests in your vision, helping you see possibilities you might not have imagined.

His support has given me clarity, confidence, and renewed excitement for the future of City Lights. I am so grateful for his expertise, his patience, and his unwavering belief in what we can achieve together.

Michael’s heart, wisdom, and generosity have left a lasting mark on me and on City Lights, and I’m so deeply thankful.
