We design extraordinary spaces
When you’re in an amazing performance space, you can feel it. Theatre Projects knows how to create performance spaces that come alive.
We speak the languages of construction, design, and the arts. From visioning through design and construction, we provide advice on planning and design decisions that affect the art, the architecture, how the performance technology functions, and how artists and audience will use each space.
Working closely with clients, users, architects, and builders, we apply our experience of what makes a dynamic performance space—intimacy, density, flexibility, and simplicity—to create extraordinary spaces.

Building confidence
Since March, many organizations have been discovering the true potential of digital streaming to their audiences. Offering online experiences while venues have been shuttered has been a necessary way to stay connected with communities and engage with audiences in new and exciting ways.

As social distancing restrictions are lifted further, will there still be a need to offer digital accessibility?We recommend including digital subscription packages as part of your reopening strategy. Here's how they can help to build confidence with audiences who prefer not to return to in-person performances immediately.
