THEATER DESIGN INC

Building Better Theaters for the Performing Arts

The design of a theater is an adventure that will take you through unfamiliar terrain. It is a journey that will require the  coordinated efforts of hundreds of  people.  Reaching the successful conclusion of your journey will require a consultant with the kind of broad perspective that comes from having created many performing arts facilities.

THEATER DESIGN INC is uniquely qualified to act as your guide. Our experience in the planning, design and construction of all kinds of theaters throughout the world has informed us about building consensus. We respect diverse viewpoints and cultures. We employ simple, jargon-free language to explain ideas and concepts.  We  encourage the participation of all parties. At the same time, we ensure that the team does not lose sight of its ultimate destination: a theater that will serve the needs of its users today and into the future.
