American Society of Theatre Consultants

The primary objective of the ASTC is to inform owners, users, and planners about the services theatre consultants offer and the value of those services for effective and economically viable performance and assembly facilities, whether the project is large or small, new construction, or renovation.

Members of the ASTC are professional theatre consultants who have demonstrated the broad range of capability and experience necessary to qualify for membership. As professionals, the ASTC’s members have individual and collective interests in providing unbiased, functionally sound, and practical consulting and design services for performance and assembly facilities to owners, users, architects, and engineers. These interests are reflected in the objectives and programs of the Society.
