The American Society of Theatre Consultants (ASTC) is pleased to announce Scott Crossfield as a new Fellow of the Society. Fellowship is the highest honor the ASTC can bestow upon a member.

It all started with “The History of New York City” in 2012 and is now on its thirteenth iteration. It has become a popular conference session and has increased the exposure of ASTC within the industry. The Fellowship announcement was made at ASTC’s annual meeting, where Crossfield expressed his sincere appreciation to those who helped him achieve this honor.
