<div dir="ltr">Jeffrey,<div>Probably more important than the architectural firm is getting a commitment from the the powers that be to engage the services of a good THEATRE CONSULTANT. Very few architects actually are strong in the area of theatre design and the design of theatrical support spaces. DAMHIKIJD!!! From multiple sad experiences.</div><div><br></div><div>Ideally, that consultant will be a member of the ASTC- American Society of Theatre Consultants. NOT ALL consultants are! That's important to note. I can tell you that there are at least a couple members in good standing to be found on this list and I have seen their excellent work in several situations and engaged one on a major project. The TC can advocate for you and your space with the architect and the bean counters better than you can and can actually save hard-to-come-by dollars in the process. They know stuff you haven't even thought of and best of all, they will listen to you and your needs. They will even disabuse you of dumb ideas in the process. ;)</div><div><br></div><div>Contact me off list if you want to learn more.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Hello,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> I’m a Technical Director at Harford Community College in Bel Air, MD. We are beginning to get in place money from the state for a redesign of our facility (Chesapeake Theater) in 2019 with the revamp/build
later. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> I’m hoping some of you might be able to recommend a good person or company to go with. We would like them to be able to deal with some acoustics, push out some walls and expand the scene shop, possible redesign
of the seating, maybe add a balcony, redo track for curtain, possible motorization of the tracks. A whole plitora of electrical and data.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> If you’d rather chime in privately if you’ve had certain issues with some so I can watch out for that if we end up with them as the architect, that would be great. I’m not sure how much my suggestions on
a person or company might come in to play. I’ve been told very enthusiastically, “O! Ya, you can tell us who you want.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>
