After three years of dedicated leadership and pioneering project management, Michael Lindauer has been named an associate principal with Theatre Projects. In a relatively short span, he has found comfortable footing inside of our 65-year-old company and supported on dozens of major projects. As a multi-disciplinary designer and project manager with a formal engineering background, Michael has innovated solutions for clients and communities across the globe, touching spaces as varied as arts centers, amphitheatres, retail locations, screening rooms, mixed-use developments, and maritime venues.
“With Michael’s appointment to associate principal, Theatre Projects recognizes his long-standing leadership in the industry and his ability to deliver complex projects for our clients,” offers Robert Young, Theatre Projects principal and project management team lead. “Our team and our clients take great pleasure in working with Michael to deliver successful venues and inhabit the spaces he helps create.”
Michael joined us from Nautilus Entertainment Design, where he was vice president and principal consultant, working on both nautical and land-based design projects. He also worked as a mechanical system designer for both JR Clancy and ShowTech, and he freelanced as a video/lighting technician and as an audio designer for television and movies. With over 25 years of experience in theatrical consulting, architectural lighting design, and audiovisual consulting, Michael has a solid all-round understanding of what it takes to design engaging and immersive spaces for entertainment.
“I am grateful that joining the Theatre Projects’ team has given me the freedom and the support to continually learn and grow both professionally and personally,” says Michael. “Being able to draw from the vast knowledge of my current teammates as well as the company’s 65 years of history is priceless, and I look forward to continuing to nurture new talent and to learn new things every day.”
Michael’s new role as associate principal will offer him increased opportunities for leadership and greater influence in the steering of the our practice team. It also demonstrates the board’s gratitude for his creativity and commitment in the past few years. We applaud Michael for his continued achievements and look forward to benefiting from his expertise for many years to come.
